摘要:
Disclosed is an airfoil comprising a plurality of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) fabric sheets which are layered to form a single, layered fabric sheet. The layered fabric sheet is formed so as to define a pressure and suction side of the airfoil. The airfoil includes primary fibers which extend radially outwardly from a rotor disk, for example. In this way, the airfoil is suitable for use in a gas turbine engine due to the temperature resistance of CMC and the strength provided by the primary fibers.

A gas turbine engine includes a buffer cooling system having a first heat exchanger, a first passageway, a second passageway and a third passageway. The first heat exchanger exchanges heat with a bleed airflow to provide a conditioned airflow. The first passageway communicates a first portion of the conditioned airflow to a high pressure compressor of the gas turbine engine, the second passageway communicates a second portion of the conditioned airflow to a high pressure turbine of the gas turbine engine, and the third passageway communicates a third portion of the conditioned airflow to a low pressure turbine of the gas turbine engine.

A vane structure for a gas turbine engine includes a multiple of CMC airfoil sections integrated between a CMC outer ring and a metal alloy inner ring.
摘要:
A bearing mounting system for use in a gas turbine engine having a low pressure turbine supported on a low pressure shaft through a support rotor comprises a low pressure turbine case, a forward bearing and an aft bearing, and a forward support structure and an aft support structure. The low pressure turbine case surrounds the low pressure turbine. The forward bearing and the aft bearing are positioned on the low pressure shaft to straddle the support rotor. The forward support structure and the aft support structure connect the forward bearing and the aft bearing, respectively, to the low pressure turbine case. The low pressure shaft extends axially between the forward bearing and the aft bearing. In one embodiment, the turbine comprises a plurality of adjacent rotor disks, and the support rotor comprises a conical support connecting one of the rotor disks with the shaft.
