Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine including a first frame comprising a first bearing assembly, a second frame comprising a second bearing assembly, and a compressor rotor. A first stage compressor airfoil is defined at an upstream-most stage of the compressor rotor. The compressor rotor is rotatable via the first bearing assembly and the second bearing assembly. The first stage compressor airfoil is disposed between the first bearing assembly and the second bearing assembly.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section and a turbine section. The turbine section includes a drive turbine and is located downstream of the compressor section. The gas turbine engine also includes a fan mechanically coupled to and rotatable with the drive turbine such that the fan is rotatable by the drive turbine at the same rotational speed as the drive turbine, the fan defining a fan pressure ratio and including a plurality of fan blades, each fan blade defining a fan tip speed. During operation of the gas turbine engine at a rated speed, the fan pressure ratio of the fan is less than 1.5 and the fan tip speed of each of the fan blades is greater than 1,250 feet per second.

Abstract: A fan assembly is provided. The fan assembly includes a fan, a fan casing circumscribing the fan, and a fan casing heating system in thermal communication with the fan casing. The fan includes a hub, and a plurality of fan blades extending from the hub. Each fan blade of the plurality of fan blades terminates at a respective blade tip. A clearance gap is defined between the fan casing and the blade tips. The fan casing heating system is configured to apply heat to the fan casing when the fan is operating in a first operational mode, and remove the applied heat when the fan transitions into a second operational mode.

Abstract: A method of heating a hollow structure and a heating system are provided. The system includes a plurality of hollow structures spaced circumferentially about an annular flow path. The hollow structures include a heating fluid inlet port, a first plurality of film heating apertures, and a second plurality of film heating apertures. The hollow structures also include a first internal passage extending between the heating fluid inlet port and the first plurality of film heating apertures. The first internal passage includes an impingement leg configured to channel a first flow of heating fluid to a leading edge of the hollow structure. A second internal passage extends between the heating fluid inlet port and the second plurality of film heating apertures through a path along an inner surface of the hollow structure before being channeled to the second plurality of film heating apertures.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan located at a forward portion of the gas turbine engine, and a compressor section and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order. The compressor section and the turbine section together define a core airflow path. A rotary member is rotatable with the fan and with a low pressure turbine of the turbine section. The low pressure turbine includes a rotating drum to which a first airfoil structure is connected and extends radially inward toward the rotary member. A torque frame connects the rotating drum to the rotary member and transfers torque from the first airfoil structure mounted to the rotating drum to the rotary member. The torque frame includes an inner disk mounted to the rotary member, an outer ring and a second airfoil structure formed separately from the outer ring and connected thereto by a releasable connecting structure. The second airfoil structure extends radially inward from the outer ring toward the inner disk.

Abstract: A turbomachine engine including an engine core including a high-pressure compressor, which has an exit stage having an exit stage diameter (DCORE), a high-pressure turbine, and a combustion chamber in flow communication with the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine, a power turbine in flow communication with the high-pressure turbine, and a low-pressure shaft coupled to the power turbine and characterized by a midshaft rating (MSR) between two hundred (ft/sec)1/2 and three hundred (ft/sec)1/2. The low-pressure shaft has a redline speed between fifty and two hundred fifty feet per second (ft/sec). The turbomachine engine is configured to operate up to the redline speed without passing through a critical speed associated with a first-order bending mode of the low-pressure shaft. The low-pressure shaft has a length (LMSR) defined by an engine core length (LCORE) given by: L CORE = [ m ( 20 + m ) * n ( 10 + n ) ] ( 1 100 ) * D CORE + CIS .

Abstract: Structures for reducing forward loads in compressors are described. compressor includes inner and outer circumferential support structures positioned concentrically around a central axis, and an aft-most stage including a vane extending radially inward from the outer circumferential support structure. An axial length of the aft-most stage is defined by a spacer arm of the inner circumferential support structure. The vane includes a root, a tip, and a trailing edge extending between the root and the tip. A ratio of a first radial distance between a first point located at an intersection of the tip of the vane and the trailing edge to a radially inner wall of the spacer arm of the inner circumferential support structure to a second radial distance between the first point and a second point located at an intersection of the root of the vane and the trailing edge is between 0.95 and 4.5.

Abstract: A turbomachinery engine includes a fan assembly, a low-pressure turbine, and a gearbox. The fan assembly includes a plurality of fan blades. The low-pressure turbine includes 3-5 rotating stages. The low-pressure turbine includes an area ratio equal to the annular exit area of an aft-most rotating stage of the low-pressure turbine divided by the annular exit area of a forward-most rotating stage of the low-pressure turbine. In some instances, the area ratio is within a range of 3.1-5.1.
