    Abstract: An exemplary method for qualifying a gas turbine engine component includes creating a first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components via a uniform manufacturing procedure, determining a set of as-manufactured parameters of each gas turbine engine component in the first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, determining a variance model of the first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, and determining a plurality of predicted response models based at least in part on the variance model, each of the predicted response models corresponding to one of an engine type and an engine assembly, and each of the predicted response models being configured to determine a predicted response of including a gas turbine engine component from the first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components in the corresponding one of the engine type and the engine assembly. The system then identifies as-manufactured parameters of a second engine component, and applies the as-manufactured parameters of the second engine component to each of the predicted response models, thereby generating a predicted response output from each of the predicted response models. An optimum predicted response from each of the generated predicted response models is identified and the engine type or engine assembly that corresponds with the optimum predicted response is associated with a unique part identifier of the second engine component.

    Abstract: A turbomachine airfoil element comprises an airfoil having: an inboard end; an outboard end; a leading edge; a trailing edge; a pressure side; and a suction side. A span between the inboard end and the outboard end is 1.35-1.65 inches. A chord length at 50% span is 1.20-1.60 inches. At least two of: a first mode resonance frequency is 2858±10% Hz; a second mode resonance frequency is 4916±10% Hz; a third mode resonance frequency is 7160±10% Hz; a fourth mode resonance frequency is 10268±10% Hz; a fifth mode resonance frequency is 14235±10% Hz; and a sixth mode resonance frequency is 15088±10% Hz.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, an airfoil used as a turbine blade for a turbine wheel in a gas turbine engine is provided. The airfoil may comprise a root, a tip, and a body. The root may have a first area. The tip may have a second area. The body may have a chord bounded by the root and the tip. The body may also define a cooling chamber. The cooling chamber may have a first rib substantially perpendicular to the chord. The cooling chamber may also have a second rib extending partially between the root and the tip.

    Abstract: An airfoil stage of a turbine engine includes an upstream airfoil assembly, a downstream airfoil assembly in rotational relationship to the upstream airfoil assembly and a rim seal assembly integrated therebetween. The rim seal assembly may include a sloped downstream portion of a platform of the upstream airfoil assembly, an upstream segment of a platform of the downstream airfoil assembly and a nub that projects radially outward from the upstream segment. The downstream portion and the upstream segment are spaced from one-another defining a cooling cavity therebetween for the flow of cooling air. The portion and segment overlap axially such that the nub is axially aligned to the downstream portion for improved cooling effectiveness and a reduction of core airflow into the cooling cavity.

    Abstract: A rotatable sealing structure for a gas turbine engine includes a first blade and a second blade. A seal is arranged between the blades and has a body that is configured for operative association with the first and second blades in a first orientation and in a second orientation to seal a gap defined between the blades.
