Abstract: A turbine engine having an engine core, a first seal structure, a plurality of circumferentially arranged vanes, a plurality of struts, and a second seal structure. The engine core can define a rotor and a stator having a casing. The first seal structure can include a finger seal projecting from the rotor. The plurality of circumferentially arranged vanes can include an uppers band mounted to the casing, and a lower band located radially above the finger seal. At least some of the struts of the plurality of struts can extend through the plurality of circumferentially arranged vanes. The second seal structure can form a seat with the lower band.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine comprises a cooling circuit defined within the airfoil providing a flow of cooling fluid within the airfoil. The cooling circuit exhausts the flow of cooling fluid out a slot opening comprising an airfoil element. The slot opening further defines an acceleration zone and a deceleration zone to meter the flow of cooling fluid within the airfoil.

Abstract: A turbine engine comprises an airfoil having one or more internal cooling circuits. The cooling circuits can be fed with a flow of cooling fluid from one or more cooling air inlet passages in fluid communication with the cooling circuits. The cooling circuits can provide the cooling fluid flow within the airfoil to cool the airfoil, as well as provide a cooling fluid to a plurality of film holes to create a cooling film on the external surface of the airfoil.

Abstract: An airfoil comprises one or more internal cooling circuits. The cooling circuit can further comprise a near wall cooling mesh, fluidly coupling a supply passage to a mesh plenum. The mesh plenum can be disposed adjacent to the external surface of the airfoil having a plurality of film holes extending between the mesh plenum and the external surface of the airfoil. The mesh plenum can further comprise a cross-sectional area sized to facilitate machining of the film holes without damage to the interior of the airfoil.

Abstract: An airfoil comprises one or more internal cooling circuits. The cooling circuits can be fed with a flow of cooling fluid from one or more cooling air inlet passages in fluid communication with the cooling circuits. The cooling circuits can further comprise a leading edge cooling circuit defined by a supply passage, a pin bank passage divided into one or more sub-circuits by pin banks disposed within the pin bank passage, and at least first and second cooling passages. The cooling circuits can provide the cooling fluid flow within the airfoil to cool the airfoil, as well as provide a cooling fluid to a plurality of film holes to create a cooling film on the external surface of the airfoil.
