Abstract: A gas turbine engine defining a longitudinal direction and a radial direction is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a turbine section comprising a stationary outer portion, a first rotating component, and a second rotating component, wherein the first rotating component includes an aft airfoil defining a hollow passageway and coupled to a radially extended first rotor portion, wherein the hollow passageway is in fluid communication with the stationary outer portion, wherein the second rotating component is coupled to a radially extended second rotor portion; and a seal assembly between a portion of the first rotating component and the second rotating component, the seal assembly defining a balance piston cavity therebetween, wherein the balance piston cavity is in fluid communication with the hollow passageway, wherein a flow of air is routed through the stationary outer portion and the hollow passageway to the balance piston cavity, and wherein a pressure of the flow of air within the balance piston cavity is controlled to provide an axial thrust that counteracts a thrust load on the second rotor portion.

Abstract: A turbine engine with an outer rotor that circumscribes an inner rotor or inner stator. The outer rotor includes circumferentially arranged components with a tip and a root. The root of each of the circumferentially arranged components can terminate at an inner platform, where the collection of inner platforms can define an inner band.
