摘要: A method of controlling an aeronautical gas turbine engine may be performed with an electronic controller. The method may include determining an airfoil pitch control command for at least one of a plurality of airfoils of the aeronautical gas turbine engine based at least in part on an excitation load acting upon the aeronautical gas turbine engine, and outputting the airfoil pitch control command to one or more actuators actuatable to change a pitch angle of the at least one of the plurality of airfoils. The airfoil pitch control command may be configured to augment and/or compensate for the excitation load acting upon the aeronautical gas turbine engine. The method may be embodied by a non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with the electronic controller, cause the electronic controller to perform the method.

摘要: An open rotor engine includes a core engine, a plurality of guide vanes positioned within or extending from the core engine; and a pitch change assembly operably coupled to the plurality of guide vanes. The pitch change assembly includes one or more actuators configured to change a pitch angle of respective ones of the plurality of guide vanes, and a plurality of linkage arms that are respectively movable by actuation of at least one of the one or more actuators. The plurality of linkage arms are directly or indirectly coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of guide vanes. The plurality of linkage arms may have a length that differs from one another, and such length may orient a displacement or a range of motion of the respective linkage arm to an envelope of rotation about a guide vane axis that differs as between the plurality of guide vanes.

摘要: A blade for a propulsion apparatus. The blade includes a body having opposed pressure and suction sides. The blade extends in span between a root and a tip and the blade extends in chord between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade includes a fracture structure that is defined within the body and positioned such that it is spaced-away from the tip. The fracture structure includes at least one chamber. A first fracture wall is disposed between the at least one chamber and the pressure side, and a second fracture wall is disposed between the at least one chamber and the suction side. The fracture structure is configured to fail when a predetermined force is applied to the tip such that the tip separates from the remainder of the body.

摘要: Composite airfoils and methods for forming composite airfoils are provided. For example, a composite airfoil of a gas turbine engine comprises opposite pressure and suction sides extending radially along a span from a root to a tip, which define opposite radial extremities of the airfoil. The composite airfoil further comprises a body section and a tip section, which includes the tip, that each extend radially along the span. The composite airfoil is formed from a composite material comprising fibers disposed in a matrix material. The tip section has a tip fiber volume, and the body section has a body fiber volume that is greater than the tip fiber volume. Another composite airfoil comprises a tip cap applied over the tip that tapers from a first end to a second end such that each of the pressure and suction side walls of the tip cap narrows from a first thickness to a second thickness.

摘要: An airfoil defining a span extending between a root and a tip and a chord at each point along the span extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil includes a frangible airfoil portion at the tip extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge and extending between the tip and a frangible line along the span. The frangible airfoil portion includes an exterior surface. The exterior surface at least partially defines at least one fusion cavity at least partially defining the frangible line. The airfoil further includes a residual airfoil portion extending from the frangible line to the root along the span. The residual airfoil portion meets the frangible airfoil portion at the frangible line. As such, the frangible airfoil portion deforms or partially or fully detaches relative to the residual airfoil portion at the frangible line following an event creating imbalance.

摘要: A containment structure comprising an annular structure configured to provide close tolerance to a rotation structure. The containment structure includes a first abradable structure, a second abradable structure, and a shroud that is defined in part by the first abradable structure and in part by the second abradable structure. An annular surface of the shroud is defined by the first abradable structure and by the second abradable structure. The first abradable structure is harder than the second abradable structure.
