    Abstract: A rotor blade comprises an airfoil extending radially from a root section to a tip section and axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge, the leading and trailing edges defining a curvature therebetween. The curvature determines a relative exit angle at a relative span height between the root section and the tip section, based on an incident flow velocity at the leading edge of the airfoil and a rotational velocity at the relative span height. In operation of the rotor blade, the relative exit angle determines a substantially flat exit pressure ratio profile for relative span heights from 75% to 95%, wherein the exit pressure ratio profile is constant within a tolerance of 10% of a maximum value of the exit pressure ratio profile.

    Abstract: A nacelle assembly for a high-bypass gas turbine engine includes a core nacelle defined about an engine centerline axis. A fan nacelle is mounted at least partially around the core nacelle to define a fan bypass flow path. A variable area fan nozzle is in communication with the fan bypass flow path. The variable area fan nozzle has a first fan nacelle section and a second fan nacelle section. The second fan nacelle section is axially movable relative to the first fan nacelle section to define an auxiliary port at a non-closed position to vary a fan nozzle exit area and adjust fan bypass airflow. The second fan nacelle section includes an acoustic system that has an acoustic impedance located on a radially outer surface.

    Abstract: A system of a machine includes a network of a plurality of nodes distributed throughout the machine. Each of the nodes is operable to communicate through a plurality of electromagnetic signals. A controller is operable to communicate with the network of nodes through the electromagnetic signals. The system also includes a plurality of waveguides configured to guide transmission of the electromagnetic signals between the controller and one or more of the nodes. A radio frequency-based repeater is coupled to at least two of the waveguides in the network between the controller and at least one of the nodes. The radio frequency-based repeater is configured to receive a portion of the electromagnetic signals in a first waveguide and boost a transmission characteristic of the portion of the electromagnetic signals in a second waveguide.

    Abstract: A nacelle assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a core nacelle defined at least partially about a core engine, a fan nacelle mounted at least partially around the core nacelle to define a fan bypass flow path, and a variable area fan nozzle in communication with the fan bypass flow path. The variable area fan nozzle has a first fan nacelle section and a second fan nacelle section downstream of the first fan nacelle section. The first fan nacelle section and the second fan nacelle section are axially movable relative to one another to define an auxiliary port to vary a fan nozzle exit area and adjust fan bypass airflow. The auxiliary port is defined between the first fan nacelle section and the second fan nacelle section. The first fan nacelle section comprises a first acoustic system which provides an acoustic impedance configured to attenuate a noise characterized by a leading edge of the second fan nacelle section. The first acoustic system is defined at least in part within a trailing edge region of the first fan nacelle section. A method of reducing a total effective perceived noise level of a gas turbine engine with a variable area fan nozzle is also disclosed.
