Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan that includes a plurality of fan blades rotatable about an axis. An on-wing portion includes a compressor section and a combustor that is in fluid communication with the compressor section. A turbine section is in fluid communication with the combustor. A core flow path is arranged within a core nacelle. The fan is arranged upstream from the core flow path. A fan drive gear system module is coupled to the turbine section for rotating the fan about the axis. A connector assembly including first and second members respectively is secured to the on-wing portion and the fan drive gear system module. The first and second members are removably secured to one another by radially extending fasteners. The first members are connected to an on-wing portion of the gas turbine engine and the second members are connected to the fan drive gear system module. The fasteners are accessible through the bypass flow path.

Abstract: A mid-turbine frame buffer system for a gas turbine engine includes a mid-turbine frame that supports a shaft by a bearing. An air compartment and a bearing compartment are arranged radially inward of the mid-turbine frame. The bearing compartment is arranged within the air compartment and includes first and second contact seals arranged on either side of the bearing. The air compartment includes multiple air seals. A high pressure compressor is fluidly connected to the air compartment and is configured to provide high pressure air to the air compartment. A method of providing pressurized air to a buffer system includes sealing a bearing compartment with contact seals, surrounding the bearing compartment with an air compartment, and supplying high pressure air to the air compartment.

Abstract: A gas turbine includes a shaft, a turbine coupled with the shaft for rotation with the shaft, and a bearing coupled with the shaft to facilitate rotation of the shaft. A bearing nut is adjacent the bearing on the shaft. The turbine has a first load path and the bearing has a second load path. The bearing nut exerts a force on the bearing such that the first load path is not aligned with the second load path relative to a central axis of the gas turbine engine. A method of assembling a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a core housing that includes an inlet case and an intermediate case that respectively provide an inlet case flow path and an intermediate case flow path. A first shaft supports a low pressure compressor section that is arranged axially between the inlet case flow path and the intermediate case flow path. A first bearing supports the first shaft relative to the inlet case. A second bearing supports a second shaft relative to the intermediate case. A low pressure compressor hub is mounted to the first shaft. The low pressure compressor hub extends to the low pressure compressor section between the first bearing and the second bearing.
