Abstract: An in-line propeller gearbox of a turboprop gas turbine engine includes an epicyclic gearing arrangement that has a sun gear, a ring gear and at least one planet gear disposed between and meshing with both the sun gear and the ring gear. The propeller gearbox includes a disk brake that can be operated to slow down or stop altogether the rotation of the propeller. The disk brake has an axially extending shaft having at one end a disk and at the opposite end a gear having teeth that engage with one of the gears in the epicyclic gearing arrangement. The disk brake includes a hydraulic caliper or an electric caliper that can be actuated to slow down rotation of the disk to an eventual full stop and to hold the disk at full stop to thereby stop rotation of the propeller.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for mounting a turbine engine to an aircraft can include an engine core for the turbine engine including a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section in flow arrangement. At least one strut couples to the engine core about a single mount plane. A structural wall at least partially defining a mainstream flow path couples to the at least one strut and passes through the compressor section and the turbine section.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system for bleeding air from a compressed gas path of a gas turbine engine. The system includes an impeller positioned at a downstream end of a compressor in the gas turbine engine. The impeller includes an impeller hub, an impeller arm coupled to the impeller hub, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart impeller vanes extending radially outwardly from the impeller arm. The impeller arm defines an impeller arm aperture extending therethrough. A vortex spoiler is positioned radially inwardly from the impeller arm and defines a vortex spoiler passage extending radially therethrough. Bleed air flows from the compressed gas path radially inwardly through both the impeller arm aperture and the vortex spoiler passage.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine defining a radial direction, a circumferential direction, an axial centerline along a longitudinal direction, and an upstream end and a downstream end along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine defines a core flowpath extended generally along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine includes a first turbine rotor. The first turbine rotor includes an annular outer band disposed outward of the core flowpath along the radial direction. The first turbine rotor further includes a plurality of airfoils coupled to an inner diameter of the outer band in which the plurality of airfoils are extended generally inward along the radial direction. The outer band defines a plurality of airfoil cooling passages in which the plurality of airfoil cooling passages are extended at least partially in the radial direction in fluid communication with the plurality of airfoils.
