Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a nacelle providing an external skin of the engine, a casing structure radially inwards of the external skin and providing an outer surface of an air flow duct of the engine, and plural engine components located in the bay formed between the casing structure and the nacelle. The components are part of either a first set of components or a second set of components. The components of the first set are all the components from the bay which are potential ignition sources, and the components of the second set are all the remaining components from the bay. The engine further has a container located in the bay, the container being fireproof capable of withstanding the application of heat by a standard flame for 15 minutes and the container containing the components of the first set.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft is provided. The gas turbine engine comprises an engine core comprising a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor. The gas turbine engine further comprises a fan located upstream of the engine core, the fan comprising a plurality of fan blades, the fan generating a core airflow which enters the engine core and a bypass airflow which flows through a bypass duct surrounding the engine core. The gas turbine engine further comprises a circumferential row of outer guide vanes located in the bypass duct rearwards of the fan, the outer guide vanes extending radially outwardly from an inner ring which defines a radially inner surface of the bypass duct.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine having a fire wall configured to provide a fire resistant barrier between a first zone and a second zone in the gas turbine engine, the second zone being hotter than the first zone. The gas turbine engine also has: (i) an actuator located in the first zone, (ii) an actuatable device that is located in the second zone, (iii) a bypass duct, (iv) an off-take device to extract cooling air from the bypass duct in the gas turbine engine and to supply the extracted cooling air into the elongate housing/shell, the off-take device having a first passage and a second passage, and (v) a mechanical force transmitting device that extends from the actuator to the actuatable device via a hole in the fire wall. The mechanical force transmitting device is configured to actuate the actuatable device by transmitting a mechanical force to the actuatable device.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine 10 comprises at least one rigid raft assembly that has a fluid passageway 210 at least partially embedded therein. The fluid passageway 210 is at least a part of a fluid system. In addition to the fluid passageway 210, the rigid raft assembly 200 also has at least a part of another system. For example, the rigid raft assembly may also include electrical conductors 252, which are part of an electrical system. The rigid raft assembly 200 may be lighter, easier to assemble, more robust and more compact than conventional solutions for providing systems to gas turbine engines.

Abstract: An electrical raft (200) is provided that has electrical conductors (252) embedded in a rigid material (220). The electrical raft is provided with an electrical connector (700). The electrical connector (700) is mounted in the electrical raft (200) at a mounting angle (730). The mounting angle is set such that the electrical conductors (252) can be connected to the electrical connector without having to turn through an angle or a radius of curvature that would subject them to excessive bending stress. Similarly, the mounting angle means that any conductors (766) that may be connected to the electrical connector (700) do not have to turn through an angle or a radius of curvature that would subject them to excessive bending stress. Furthermore, mounting the electrical connector (700) at the mounting angle (730) may allow the assembled electrical raft (200) to be more compact.
