    摘要: A tip turbine engine (40) provides a peripheral combustor (30) with a more efficient combustion path through the combustor and through the tip turbine blades (34). In the combustor, the core airflow is received generally axially from compressor chambers in hollow fan blades (28) and then turned radially outwardly into a combustion chamber (112), where it is then mixed with the fuel and ignited. The combustor has a combustion path extending axially from a forward end of its combustion chamber through a combustion chamber outlet (122) and through a turbine (32) mounted to the fan. Thus, when the core airflow begins to expand in a high-energy gas stream, it has a substantially axial path from the combustion chamber through the turbine.

    摘要: A fan-turbine rotor assembly includes a diffuser section (114) which turns and diffuses the airflow from a radial core airflow passage (80) toward an axial airflow direction. Diffuser flow passages communicate with the diffuser passages (144) at a location which reduces separation of the airflow as the airflow is turned from the radial core airflow passage (80) toward an axial airflow direction through airflow aspiration at the potentially turbulent locations.

    摘要: A fan-turbine rotor assembly (24) includes one or more turbine ring rotors (32). Each turbine ring rotor is cast as a single integral annular ring. By forming the turbine as one or more rings, leakage between adjacent blade platforms is minimized which increases engine efficiency. Assembly of the turbine ring rotors to the diffuser ring (114) includes axial installation and radial locking of each turbine ring rotor.

    摘要: A tip turbine engine comprises a fan-turbine rotor assembly that includes one or more turbine ring rotors. Each turbine ring is assembled from a multitude of turbine blade clusters. Assembly of a multitude of turbine blade clusters to a diffuser includes axial installation and radial rotation. The clusters are axially installed, then rotated toward a radial stop in a direction which will maintain each cluster against the radial stop during operation of the fan-turbine rotor assembly. A multitude of turbine rotor ring stages may also be locked together to future increase the rigidity of the turbine.

    摘要: A fan-turbine rotor assembly (24) includes a multitude of turbine blades (34) which each define a turbine blade passage which bleed air from a diffuser section (74) to provide for regenerative cooling. Regenerative cooling airflow is communicated from the radial core airflow passage (80) through the diffuser passages (144), through diffuser aspiration passages (146A, 146B) and into the turbine blade passages (150a). The regenerative cooling airflow exits from the turbine blade passage (150a) and transfers received thermal energy into an annular combustor (30). The received thermal energy is recovered at the highest temperature in the cycle.

    摘要: A variable rotor blade mechanism for use in a gas turbine engine comprises a blade rotor, a blade, a harmonic drive system, a stepper motor and a bracket. The blade rotor rotates absolutely about an axial engine centerline during operation of the gas turbine engine. The blade extends radially from the blade rotor and is configured to be adjustable by rotation about a radial axis. The harmonic drive system is mounted to the blade rotor and connected to the blade to rotate the blade about the radial axis. The stepper motor drives the harmonic drive with relative rotational input with respect to the absolute rotation of the blade rotor. The bracket is disposed about the engine centerline and supports the stepper motor stationary with respect to the rotation of blade rotor such that the relative rotational input to the stepper motor is generated.

    摘要: A fan-turbine rotor assembly for a tip turbine engine includes a multiple of fan blades, which include an inducer section (66), a hollow fan blade section (72) and a diffuser section (74). The hollow fan blade section defines a airflow passage (80). The core airflow is turned, spread and split toward opposite ends of the diffuser section by a multiple of internal turning vanes (122). The airflow streams are then further turned by discharge turning vanes (124) before discharge from a diffuser discharge outlet. Along with turning and splitting the core airflow, the fan blade profile balances the mass of the diffuser section such that the center of mass thereof is over the hollow airfoil section structure.
