Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a main compressor section. A turbine section has a variable vane positioned upstream of a rotor blade, and the variable vane is provided with an actuator operable to control an orientation of the variable vane. A tap line taps air from the compressor section, and passes the tapped air through a cooling compressor. The cooling compressor is a fixed flow compressor. Air downstream of the cooling compressor is delivered into the turbine section.

Abstract: A compressor section for use in a gas turbine engine comprises a compressor rotor having a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the hub and an outer housing surrounding an outer periphery of the blades. A tap taps air at a radially outer first location, passing the tapped air through a heat exchanger, and returning the tapped air to an outlet at a second location which is radially inward of the first location, to provide cooling air adjacent to the hub. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan section, a core engine, a bypass passage, a bypass ratio defined as the volume of air passing into the bypass passage compared to the volume of air passing into the core engine, the bypass ratio being greater than or equal to 10 at cruise power, and a low fan pressure ratio of less than 1.45 measured across a fan blade alone. A gear arrangement drives the fan section. A compressor section includes both a low pressure compressor and a high pressure compressor. A guide vane includes a forward attachment, the forward attachment positioned aft of a plumbing connection area. A turbine section drives the gear arrangement, and may have a low pressure turbine with a low pressure turbine pressure ratio greater than 5:1, and a two stage high pressure turbine. An overall pressure ratio is provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the low pressure compressor and a pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor, and greater than 50, measured at sea level and at a static, full-rated takeoff power. The pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor is greater than 7.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine nacelle includes a first annular portion that is stationary and adapted for partially surrounding an engine core. The first annular portion includes a fore pylon connecting portion. A rail is coupled to the fore pylon connecting portion and extends in the aft direction from the first annular portion. A second annular portion is positioned aft of the first portion and coupled to the rail. The second portion is movable along an engine core centerline between a closed position and at least one open position. The second annular portion is configured to engage with the first annular portion in the closed position, thereby providing access to the engine core. A mating axial groove and rib connection is located between the first annular portion and the second annular portion.
