Abstract: A gas turbine engine that has improved fuel burn provides operability and/or maintenance requirements when installed on an aircraft. The gas turbine engine is provided with a core compressor that includes twelve, thirteen or fourteen rotor stages. The gas turbine engine has a ratio of a core compressor aspect ratio divided by a core compressor pressure ratio is in the range of from 0.03 to 0.09. This results in an optimum balance between installation benefits, operability, maintenance requirements and engine efficiency when the gas turbine engine is installed on an aircraft.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing an insert in a hole, the insert having an axis, a section comprising a thread disposed around the axis and a section comprising a plurality of splines, and the hole having a section comprising a corresponding thread and a section comprising a plurality of grooves corresponding to said splines, the apparatus comprising a driver arranged to rotate the insert, a torque measurement device arranged to measure the driving torque applied by the driver, and a controller arranged to cause the driver to drive the insert into the hole until the splines are level in the axial direction with the grooves by rotating the insert in a first direction, and align the splines with the grooves by causing the driver to further rotate the threaded insert whilst measuring the driving torque using the torque measuring device, and stopping the further rotation based on the measured driving torque.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine generates noise during use, and one particularly important flight condition for noise generation is take-off. A gas turbine engine that has high efficiency provides low noise, in particular from the fan and the turbine that drives the fan. Values are defined for a noise parameter NP that results in a gas turbine engine having reduced combined fan and turbine noise.

Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly of a gas turbine engine includes seal segments made from ceramic matrix composite materials. The mounting assembly used to support the seal segments has heat shields adapted to resist radiant heating from the seal segments, especially portions of the seal adjacent to a primary gas path along the turbine shroud assembly.

Abstract: A fluid atomizer and methods of atomizing fluids are disclosed. The fluid atomizer may comprise an inner member and one or more outer members. The inner member defines an interior conduit for providing a first-fluid flowpath from a supply end of the atomizer to a discharge end of the atomizer along a central axis. The one or more outer members are positioned radially outward of the inner member from the central axis. The inner and outer members define a second-fluid flowpath extending from a second-fluid supply conduit to a second-fluid discharge plenum. The second-fluid flowpath comprises a tangential conduit spiraling along the axis from the second-fluid supply conduit to a terminal end; an annulus downstream from and in fluid communication with the tangential conduit; and a second-fluid discharge plenum downstream from and in fluid communication with the annulus.

Abstract: Fuel spray nozzle for generating a spray of atomised liquid fuel in a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The nozzle includes a flow circuit that has in flow series: a gallery that receives fuel flow, plural circumferentially-spaced restrictor passages arranged in a row around the nozzle, plural conditioning passages configured to impart a circumferential component to their respective portions of the fuel flow, and an annular spin chamber which forms a swirling fuel flow which is discharged at an exit port. The restrictor passages form flow restrictions which in use produce a pressure differential between the gallery and the spin chamber to evenly circumferentially distribute the fuel flow between the restrictor passages. The conditioning passages have increased flow cross-sectional areas relative to the flow cross-sectional areas of the restrictor passages, such that the restrictor passages produce substantially all of the pressure differential between the gallery and the spin chamber.

Abstract: A supersonic gas turbine engine for an aircraft that comprises a nacelle, a fan, an engine core including a primary duct configured to guide a core airflow through the engine core, a bypass duct extending between the engine core and an engine casing and configured to guide a bypass airflow through the bypass duct, an intake located upstream of the fan, and a tertiary airflow duct extending between the engine casing and the nacelle and configured to guide a tertiary airflow. The intake is configured to extract air from the intake and guide it to the tertiary airflow duct in which the extracted air flows as tertiary airflow. It is provided that at least one heat exchanger is mounted in the tertiary airflow duct.

Abstract: The blades for a rotor of a gas turbine engine are all manufactured to the same design. However, manufacturing tolerances mean that in practice each individual blade is different to the others. It is proposed to arrange the blades around the circumference of the rotor in a manner that limits excessive stress being induced in the blades due to differences in the vibration response between a given blade and its two neighbouring blades.
