Abstract:
A spacer for a gas turbine engine includes a rotor ring defined along an axis of rotation, the rotor ring defines a forward circumferential flange which defines a first thickness and an aft circumferential flange which defines a second thickness, the first thickness different than the second thickness. A plurality of core gas path seals which extend from the rotor ring opposite the ramped interface.
Abstract:
A rotor for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of blades which extend from a rotor disk, each of the plurality of blades extend from the rotor disk at an interface, the interface defined along a spoke.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a compressor, a combustor section, and a turbine. The turbine includes an integrated case/stator segment that is comprised of a ceramic matrix composite material.
Abstract:
A rotor disk assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a rotor hub defined about an axis of rotation, the rotor hub includes a blade mount section with a first radial flange having a multiple of first apertures and a second radial flange with a multiple of second apertures.
Abstract:
A turbine exhaust case for a gas turbine engine includes a multiple of CMC turbine exhaust case struts between a CMC core nacelle aft portion and a CMC tail cone.
Abstract:
A case for a gas turbine engine includes a single-piece case that includes a combustor case portion and a turbine case portion that is integrally formed with the combustor case portion as one piece. In one example, the single-piece case includes a transition duct/mid-turbine frame case portion is integrally formed with the combustor and turbine case portions.
Abstract:
A turbine exhaust case for a gas turbine engine includes a multiple of CMC turbine exhaust case struts between a CMC core nacelle aft portion and a CMC tail cone.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a heat exchanger, a mid-turbine frame, a passageway that extends through at least a portion of the mid-turbine frame and a first nozzle assembly. The heat exchanger exchanges heat with a bleed airflow to provide a conditioned airflow. The mid-turbine frame is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger. The conditioned airflow is communicated through the passageway and is received by the first nozzle assembly to condition gas turbine engine hardware.
Abstract:
A seal for sealing a rotor of a rotary machine to a stator thereof which circumscribes the rotor and is separated therefrom by a gap comprises a nonrotational sealing element received within an annular slot in the stator and radially translatable with respect thereto, and extending into the gap for sealing to rotational sealing element carried by the rotor. A resilient biasing element received between the nonrotational sealing element and a floor of the slot biases the nonrotational sealing element radially inwardly toward the rotational sealing element and limits radially outward movement of the nonrotational sealing element. A guide extending into said gap from the slot engages the nonrotational sealing element to prevent axial misalignment thereof with the machine's rotor.
