Abstract: An assembly is provided for an engine. This engine assembly includes a heat exchange apparatus, and the heat exchange apparatus includes a core, a shell and an inner flowpath. The core includes a core sidewall and a plurality of internal passages. The core sidewall extends axially along and circumferentially around an axis. The core sidewall extends radially from a core inner side to a core outer side. The core inner side forms an outer peripheral boundary of the inner flowpath. The internal passages are arranged circumferentially about the axis. Each of the internal passages extends axially in the core sidewall. The shell extends axially along and circumscribes the core. The shell is abutted radially against the core outer side.

Abstract: A blade outer airseal (BOAS) assembly of a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of BOAS segments arrayed circumferentially about the engine central longitudinal axis, and a plurality of BOAS carriers located radially outboard of the plurality of BOAS segments. Each BOAS carrier is supportive of at least one BOAS segment. The BOAS assembly includes plurality of adjustment levers. Each adjustment lever is operably connected to at least two BOAS carriers of the plurality of BOAS carriers. Rotation of each adjustment lever about a respective pivot axis urges movement of the plurality of BOAS segments in a radial direction thereby adjusting a radial gap between the turbine rotor and the plurality of BOAS segments.

Abstract: A propulsion system includes a first propulsor rotor, a second propulsor rotor and a gas turbine engine core. The first propulsor rotor is configured to generate propulsive thrust. The second propulsor rotor is configured to generate propulsive lift. The gas turbine engine core includes a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section and a rotating structure. The rotating structure includes a turbine rotor within the turbine section. The gas turbine engine core is configured to rotate the rotating structure at a first rotational speed during a first mode to drive the first propulsor rotor to generate the propulsive thrust. The gas turbine engine core is configured to rotate the rotating structure at a second rotational speed during a second mode to drive the second propulsor rotor to generate the propulsive lift. The second rotational speed may be less than eighty percent of the first rotational speed.

Abstract: A turbine section for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first turbine rotor coupled to a first turbine shaft. The first turbine shaft is rotatable about a longitudinal axis. A second turbine rotor is coupled to a second turbine shaft. The second turbine shaft is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, and the second turbine rotor is axially aft of the first turbine rotor relative to the longitudinal axis. An aft bearing assembly rotatably supports the second turbine shaft. The second turbine rotor includes a disk assembly that carries at least one row of turbine blades. The disk assembly is mechanically attached to the second turbine shaft at an attachment point. The attachment point is axially aft of the aft bearing assembly such that an aft portion of the second turbine shaft is cantilevered from the aft bearing system with respect to the longitudinal axis. The disk assembly includes a metallic material. Each of the turbine blades comprises a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a main compressor section with a downstream most location. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine. A tap line is connected to tap air from a location upstream of the downstream most location in the main compressor section. The tapped air is connected to a heat exchanger and then to a cooling compressor. The cooling compressor compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger, and is connected to deliver air into the high pressure turbine. A bypass valve is positioned downstream of the main compressor section, and upstream of the heat exchanger. The bypass valve selectively delivers air directly to the cooling compressor without passing through the heat exchanger under certain conditions.
