Abstract: A structurally-reinforced rotor disk for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The rotor disk may comprise a body including a rim configured to support airfoils (which may be separate or integral with the airfoils), an axially-extending bore disposed radially inward of the rim, and a radially-extending web connecting the rim and the bore. The bore may include an axial outer edge and at least one circumferentially-extending annular recess formed axially between the outer edge and the web. The rotor disk may further comprise an annular ring retained in the annular recess, and the annular ring may be formed from a different material than the body of the rotor disk so as to increase a self-sustaining radius of the rotor disk.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a gas turbine engine is disclosed that includes an engine section comprising a plurality of stages of variable vanes, and also includes first and second synchronizing rings (sync-rings). Movement of the first sync-ring adjusts vane angles of a first one of the stages of variable vanes, and movement of the second sync-ring adjusts vane angles of a second one of the stages of variable vanes. At least one sensor is configured to measure a condition of the gas turbine engine. A controller is configured to move the first sync-ring independently of the second sync-ring based on data from the at least one sensor.

Abstract: A bleed valve system for a gas turbine engine that includes a retaining ring and a metering ring. The retaining ring abuts an end of a bleed air duct and defines a plurality of retaining ring apertures. The metering ring that is at least partially disposed within the bleed air duct and abuts the retaining ring, the metering ring defining a plurality of metering ring apertures, the metering ring being rotatable relative to the retaining ring to selectively facilitate a fluid flow through the bleed air duct.

Abstract: A lock for securing a nosecone having first threading to an inlet case having second threading and for use with a gas turbine engine having an axis includes an annular ring designed to be positioned about the first threading. The lock also includes a tab extending radially from the annular ring, and having a ramped circumferential end and an angled circumferential end such that the ramped circumferential end passes over a detent of the inlet case in response to the nosecone being fastened to the inlet case and the angled circumferential end engages with the detent to resist unfastening of the nosecone from the inlet case.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine section includes a plurality of spaced rotor stages, with a static guide vane intermediate the spaced rotor stages. The static guide vane provides swirl into air passing toward a downstream one of the spaced rotor stages, and an outer housing surrounding the spaced rotor stages. A diverter diverts a portion of air radially outwardly through the outer housing, and across at least one heat exchanger. The diverted air passes back into a duct radially inwardly through the outer housing, and is exhausted toward the downstream one of the spaced rotor stages.

Abstract: A cooling system for providing a buffer cooled cooling air to a turbine section of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The cooling system may comprise a first conduit configured to transmit a cooling air toward the turbine section, a heat exchanger configured to cool a bleed airflow diverted from the first conduit to provide a buffer air, and a bypass conduit configured to direct at least a portion of the buffer air through at least one passageway that bypasses a bearing compartment of the gas turbine engine. The cooling system may further comprise a manifold configured to allow the cooling air exiting the first conduit and the buffer air exiting the bypass conduit to mix and provide the buffer cooled cooling air, and a nozzle assembly configured to deliver the buffer cooled cooling air to the turbine section.
