Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section, a compressor section, combustor section, and turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defining an engine longitudinal axis. Sets of blades can be rotatably driven about the longitudinal axis in the fan section, the compressor section, and the turbine section. The airfoil structure defining one or more of the blades or vanes can include a structure which includes a woven or foam core, with a laminate skin, and an exterior coating.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section, a compressor section, combustion section, and turbine section in serial flow arrangement, that defining an engine centerline extending between a forward direction and an aft direction. A composite component, such as an airfoil, extends between a root and a tip, defining a span-wise direction therebetween, and between a leading edge and a trailing edge, defining a chord-wise direction therebetween. The composite component includes a preform core including a first set of fibers as a first set of warp fibers and a first set of weft fibers.

Abstract: A composite duct panel assembly is provided. The composite duct panel assembly includes a composite duct panel having a curved cross-section in a circumferential direction and a width based on the panel including a portion of a circumference of an annular bypass duct. In one embodiment, at least two adjacent corners of the panel are greater than 90°. In one embodiment, the panel includes a circumferential flange along a circumferential edge and an axial flange along an axial edge, and the assembly further includes a corner bracket coupled to the panel, the circumferential flange, and the axial flange. The corner bracket includes a flange corner having an approximate 90° angle, the flange corner extending the axial flange and the circumferential flange to an intersection at a corner of the panel.

Abstract: A shroud hanger assembly or shroud assembly is provided for components which may be formed of materials having differing coefficient thermal expansion. The assembly includes a multi-piece hanger including a shroud positioned in a cavity between a first hanger portion and a second hanger portion. A shroud may be formed of a low coefficient of thermal expansion material which may have a differing coefficient thermal expansion than the material defining the shroud hanger. The shroud is deflected by an axial force acting between the hanger and the shroud which also forms a seal. The seal compensates for differing rates of thermal growth between the shroud and the hanger throughout the engine operating envelope.

Abstract: A shroud hanger assembly (30) or shroud assembly is provided for dimensionally incompatible components wherein the assembly includes a multi-piece hanger (32), for example having a forward hanger portion (34) and a rearward hanger portion (36). A cavity (46) is formed between the parts; wherein a shroud (50) may be positioned which is formed of a low coefficient of thermal expansion material. The hanger (32) and shroud (50) may be formed of the same material or differing materials in order to better match the thermal growth between the hanger and the shroud. When the shroud (50) is positioned within the hanger opening or cavity (46), one of the forward (34) and rearward hanger (36) portions may be press fit or otherwise connected into the other of the forward (34) and rearward (36) hanger portion.
