Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to monolithic superstructures for supporting a rotating shaft coupled to a rotor relative to a stator. An integral superstructure supports the rotating component. The superstructure includes a bearing portion that contacts the shaft. A stator portion, is spaced a critical dimension radially outward, from the rotor. A first annular transfer portion extends axially forward from the bearing to the stator portion. A second annular transfer portion extends axially aft from the stator portion to a mounting flange. The mounting flange connects the superstructure to a frame. The superstructure maintains a critical dimension between the rotor and the stator as the temperature of the superstructure increases. The rotor may be a compressor impeller in a gas turbine engine and the stator may be an aero component that transfers air into a combustor.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to separating solid particles from an airflow in a gas turbine engine. A separator includes a plurality of vortex chambers arranged about a longitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine, each vortex chamber having a clean air outlet at a first end, a dirty outlet at a second end, and an air inlet transverse to the vortex chamber located at the first end. The separator also includes a sealable collection chamber in fluid communication with the dirty outlet of the each of the plurality of vortex chambers.
