Abstract: A compressor case for a gas turbine engine includes an annular body that extends circumferentially around a center axis and extends axially along the center axis. A first bleed manifold is formed on an outer surface of the annular body and encloses a first plenum. A second bleed manifold is formed on the outer surface of the annular body and is axially aft of the first bleed manifold. The second bleed manifold encloses a second plenum. A bleed inlet extends through the annular body and into the first bleed manifold. Cooling passages are formed in the annular body, and each of the cooling passages extends from the first plenum to the second plenum and fluidically connects the first plenum to the second plenum.

Abstract: An oil cooling system and method are provided for use with respect to a lubricated mechanical system within a bypass configured gas turbine engine. A surface cooler is fluidly linked to the lubricated mechanical system to receive oil from the lubricated mechanical system for cooling and reuse. In an embodiment, the surface cooler is mounted on an existing surface within the bypass airflow path of the bypass configured gas turbine engine to provide effective cooling while avoiding the introduction of additional aerodynamic disturbances in the bypass path. In an embodiment, the surface cooler is mounted on the fan casing or on a fan exit guide vane.

Abstract: A method for forming a metallic structure having multiple layers includes providing a main tool having a main formation surface corresponding to a desired shape of a first layer of material. The method also includes depositing the first layer of material on the main formation surface using a cold-spray deposition technique. The method also includes positioning a secondary tool having a secondary formation surface in a portion of a first volume defined by a first surface of the first layer of material. The method also includes depositing a second layer of material on the secondary formation surface using the cold-spray deposition technique. The method also includes removing the secondary tool such that the first volume is positioned between the first layer of material and the second layer of material.

Abstract: A method for forming a metallic structure having a secondary component includes positioning the secondary component on a main formation surface of a main tool, the main formation surface corresponding to a desired shape of a first layer of material. The method also includes depositing a layer of material on the secondary component and the main formation surface using a cold-spray technique such that the layer of material bonds to the secondary component. The method also includes removing the layer of material and the secondary component to form the metallic structure.

Abstract: An oil thermal management system for a gas turbine engine includes a control system operable to selectively heat oil in the oil system with the heater system greater than a predetermined temperature prior to engine start. A method of starting a gas turbine engine includes sensing an oil temperature with respect to a predetermined oil temperature for engine start; and heating the oil to the predetermined oil temperature for engine start in response to the oil temperature being less than the predetermined oil temperature.

Abstract: A method of making a light weight component is provided. The method including the steps of: forming a metallic foam core into a desired configuration; applying an external metallic shell to an exterior surface of the metallic foam core after it has been formed into the desired configuration; forming an inlet opening and an outlet opening in the external metallic shell in order to provide a fluid path through the metallic foam core; and injecting a thermoplastic material into the metallic foam core via the inlet opening.

Abstract: A method for forming a metallic structure having a non-linear aperture includes providing a main tool having a formation surface corresponding to a desired structure shape of the metallic structure. The method also includes attaching a removable tool having a shape corresponding to a desired aperture shape of the non-linear aperture to the main tool. The method also includes depositing a layer of material on the formation surface using a cold-spray technique. The method also includes removing the removable tool from the layer of material such that the layer of material defines the non-linear aperture.
