    Abstract: A compliant seal assembly that may be for an MTF of a gas turbine engine includes a housing orientated about an axis with a circumferentially extending groove in the housing opened radially outward. An annular carrier of the assembly is constructed and arranged to move radially within the groove, and includes a circumferentially extending channel that is opened radially outward for receipt of a piston ring that may seal to a surrounding cylindrical wall. In operation, the carrier moves radially with respect to the housing to compensate for radial displacement between the housing and the wall, and the piston ring moves axially along the wall to compensate for axial displacement between the housing and the wall.

    Abstract: An airfoil extends between radially inner and radially outer platforms. The airfoil extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and merges into facing surfaces of the radially inner and outer platforms. A variable fillet merges a facing surface of one of the radially inner and outer platforms into a wall of the airfoil. The variable fillet has a length extending away from a surface of the airfoil and a height extending away from the facing surface of at least one of the radially inner and outer platforms outwardly on to the airfoil. The variable fillet has a greater length at one of the leading edge and the trailing edge. A spaced portion has a shorter length at locations spaced from at least one of the leading and trailing edges. A mid-turbine frame and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A vane for use in a gas turbine engine has an airfoil extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and is generally hollow. The vane has a radially outer platform and a radially inner platform. At least one of the radially inner and radially outer platforms has thicker portions circumferentially located beyond one of the leading edge and the trailing edge, and thinner portions circumferentially beyond circumferential edges of the airfoil. A mid-turbine frame and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of controlling fuel injection into a combustor of a gas turbine engine including: applying a first electrical charge to fuel such that the fuel becomes a charged fuel; and applying a second electrical charge to a component of the combustor, wherein the first electrical charge is applied to the fuel at a first frequency and the second electrical charge is applied to the component at a second frequency such that at least one of a selected tone, a selected screech, and a selected noise is produced by spraying the charged fuel through the component and into a combustion chamber of the combustor from a fuel nozzle.
