Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section, a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defining an engine centerline extending between a forward direction and an aft direction. A disk includes a slot for mounting a composite airfoil to the disk. An axial retainer couples to the disk and secures the composite airfoil to the disk. A compliant portion positioned at the composite airfoil abuts the composite airfoil during operation of the gas turbine engine to secure the composite airfoil to the disk.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section having a fan rotatable with a fan shaft, a turbomachinery section having a turbine and a turbomachine shaft rotatable with the turbine, a power gearbox mechanically coupled to the fan shaft and the turbomachine shaft such that the fan shaft is rotatable by the turbomachine shaft across the power gearbox, a grounded structure coupled to and supporting the power gearbox, and a torque monitoring system. The torque monitoring system includes a gearbox sensor. The gearbox sensor is coupled to the grounded structure and the torque monitoring system configured to determine a torque across the power gearbox using the gearbox sensor.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a rotatably driven engine component including a shaft coupling. The shaft coupling defines a first axial centerline and includes an inner surface. The inner surface includes a plurality of internal splines extending radially inwardly from the inner surface with respect to the first axial centerline. The engine further includes a driving member having a driving end portion and defining a second axial centerline. The driving end portion includes an outer surface and a plurality of external splines extending radially outwardly from the outer surface with respect to the second axial centerline. The plurality of external splines is drivingly engaged with the plurality of internal splines. The plurality of internal splines or the plurality of external splines comprises bowed splines.

Abstract: A shaft power transfer system includes a first mechanical clutch mechanism operably coupling a high-pressure shaft to a low-pressure shaft. The first mechanical clutch mechanism transfers power from the high-pressure shaft to the low-pressure shaft at a predefined first speed transient condition. The system further includes a second mechanical clutch mechanism that operably couples the low-pressure shaft to the high-pressure shaft. The second mechanical clutch mechanism transfers power from the low-pressure shaft to the high-pressure shaft at a predefined second speed transient condition where the predefined first speed transient condition is different than the predefined second speed transient condition.
