Abstract: Disclosed is an active tip clearance control system (ATCCS) for a gas turbine engine, having an electronically controlled regulating valve directing cooling airflow to a turbine case, and an engine electronic control (EEC), controlling the electronically controlled regulating valve, wherein the EEC controls the electronically controlled regulating valve to regulate cooling airflow according to a selected target blade tip clearance schedule, and wherein the selected target blade tip clearance schedule is selected before or after an engine cycle, from of a plurality of target blade tip clearance schedules, each correlating to one of a plurality of thrust rating applications for the engine.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for receiving operating state parameters associated with an operative state of an aircraft, determining a clearance value between a first structure of the engine and a second structure of the engine, where the clearance value is determined based on the operating state parameters and a passive clearance model that includes a specification of an uncertainty in the clearance value, determining that the clearance value deviates from a clearance target in an amount that is greater than a threshold, and engaging an active clearance control (ACC) mechanism based on the deviation.

Abstract: A blade outer air seal for a gas turbine engine having a surface that is eccentric with respect to the engine rotation centerline, and a method for creating same, are disclosed. Also, a method for grinding a work piece having nominal curvature defined by a work piece curvature centerline is disclosed, comprising the steps of: a) determining a desired surface profile for the work piece; b) providing a rotating grinding surface having a grinding rotation centerline; c) offsetting the grinding rotation centerline from the work piece curvature centerline; and d) applying the rotating grinding surface to the work piece while rotating the rotating grinding surface about the grinding rotation centerline to create the desired surface profile.
