    Abstract: A compressor rotor of a gas turbine engine includes a rotor body having a face adapted to face an adjacent rotor. The rotor body extends radially between an outer peripheral rim surface and an inner rim surface. The inner rim surface defines a bore of the rotor body. A plurality of blades extends radially from the outer peripheral rim surface. A plurality of anti-vortex fins extends axially from the face of the rotor body facing the adjacent rotor. The plurality of anti-vortex fins forms a plurality of open radial passageways. The plurality of anti-vortex fins extends axially to a predetermined thickness such that, when assembled with the second rotor, axial extremities of the plurality of anti-vortex fins being in close proximity with the adjacent rotor and the adjacent rotor closes the radial passageways. A method of providing a first rotor for assembly with a second facing rotor of a compressor rotor assembly is also presented.

    Abstract: A controlled gap seal device is adapted to surround a shaft with an annular seal element. A ring is positioned on an outer surface of the seal element, the ring adapted to modify a diametrical dimension of the seal element by thermally expanding/contracting as a function of temperature variations. A housing assembly has an interior enclosing the seal element and the ring, with the seal configured to be generally stationary in the interior. The housing assembly has an air inlet and air outlet in fluid communication with a surrounding environment for directing a flow of gas from the surrounding environment onto the ring to controllably cool and shrink the ring. A method for modifying a diameter of a controlled gap seal relative to the shaft is also provided.

    Abstract: A vane configured to be disposed in a gas path defined in part by an inner surface of a case of a gas turbine engine is provided. The vane comprises a vane body configured to extend through an aperture in the case and a vane head disposed at an end of the vane body. The vane head has an abutting surface configured to contact an outer surface of the case when the vane body extends through the aperture, and a groove configured to receive a sealing member. The groove opens to the abutting surface and is outwardly open relative to an inner region surrounded by the groove. The groove has an inner seating surface that hinders movement of the sealing member toward the abutting surface and can facilitate installation of the vane in the engine.

    Abstract: A fancase surrounds a set of fan blades mounted for rotation about a central axis of a turbine engine. The fancase has an annular casing structure having an inner wall defining an outer flow boundary surface of a gaspath. An annular recess is defined in the inner wall. A metallic bumper is disposed in the annular recess and bonded to the annular casing structure for limiting fan orbiting during fan unbalanced conditions.

    Abstract: A variable guide vane (VGV) apparatus has a variable guide vane (VGV) rotatable about a vane rotation axis. An actuating arm is mounted to the VGV. The actuating arm has a fork defining a slot for receiving a drive pin. The slot is profiled to accommodate angular misalignment between the pin and the fork throughout a range of motion of the associated pin along the slot.
