Abstract: A passive clearance control limits thermal expansion between stator components relative to rotor components. A control ring controls clearance in a passive manner and is located on or adjacent to stationary components which thermally expand during engine operation. The control ring is formed of material having low coefficient of thermal expansion such as CMCs (Ceramic Matrix Composites) and therefore limits, inhibits or restrains expansion of the adjacent stator components as temperatures increase. Limiting expansion of the stator component reduces rotor/stator clearances and limits parasitic leakage of fluid along the flow path through the engine core.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine having an interdigitated turbine assembly including a first turbine rotor and a second turbine rotor, wherein a total number of stages at the interdigitated turbine assembly is between 3 and 8, and an average stage pressure ratio at the interdigitated turbine assembly is between 1.3 and 1.9. A gear assembly is configured to receive power from the interdigitated turbine assembly, and a fan assembly is configured to receive power from the gear assembly. The interdigitated turbine assembly and the gear assembly are together configured to allow the second turbine rotor to rotate at a second rotational speed greater than a first rotational speed at the first turbine rotor. The fan assembly and the gear assembly are together configured to allow the fan assembly to rotate at a third rotational speed less than the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed. The interdigitated turbine assembly, the gear assembly, and the fan assembly together have a maximum AN2 at the second turbine rotor between 30 and 90.

Abstract: A turbine assembly includes a rotor assembly including a shaft coupled to a plurality of rotor stages including a plurality of turbine blades. The shaft and the plurality of turbine blades define a wheelspace therein. The turbine assembly further includes a plurality of seals in series, at least one seal of the plurality of seals is coupled between a static support member and a respective rotor stage such that a plurality of turbine cavities in series are defined within the wheelspace. Each turbine cavity of the plurality of turbine cavities defined by the plurality of seals receives a pressurized fluid flow that applies an axially aft force to the respective rotor stage of the plurality of rotor stages that at least partially reduces net rotor thrust generated by the rotor assembly during operation, the pressurized fluid flow further provides turbine purge within the wheel space.

Abstract: A turbomachine engine includes an engine core including a high-pressure compressor, a high-pressure turbine, and a combustion chamber. The engine core has a length (LCORE), and the high-pressure compressor has an exit stage diameter (DCORE). A power turbine is in flow communication with the high-pressure turbine. A low-pressure shaft is coupled to the power turbine and characterized by a midshaft rating from one hundred fifty (ft/sec)1/2 to three hundred thirty (ft/sec)1/2. The low-pressure shaft has a redline speed between fifty and two hundred fifty feet per second. The turbomachine engine is configured to operate up to the redline speed without passing through a critical speed associated with a first-order bending mode of the low-pressure shaft. A high-pressure shaft is coupled to the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine and is characterized by a high-speed shaft rating from 1.5 to 6.2, and a ratio of LCORE/DCORE is from 2.1 to 4.3.
