    Abstract: A non-metallic tailcone in a tip turbine engine includes a tapered wall structure disposed about a central axis. The non-metallic tailcone is fastened to a structural frame in the aft portion of the tip turbine engine. The tip turbine engine produces a first temperature gas stream from a first output source and a second temperature gas stream from a second output source. The second temperature gas stream is a lower temperature than the first temperature gas stream. The second temperature gas stream is discharged at an inner diameter of the tip turbine engine over an outer surface of the tailcone. Discharging the cooler second temperature gas stream at the inner diameter allows a non-metallic to be used to form the tailcone.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes an axial compressor which includes a rotor assembly including a first rotor segment with a first inner rim, a first sealing surface, and a first aft engagement feature, and a second rotor segment positioned aft of the first rotor segment and having a second inner rim, a second sealing surface, and a second inner rim with a second fore engagement feature that is complementary to the first aft engagement feature. The first and second sealing surfaces are complementary to each other, and are bonded together via a transient liquid phase diffusion process. The first and second sealing surfaces are disposed on the outer rim. The first aft engagement member may be a notch that is complementary to the second fore engagement feature, which may be a shelf.

    Abstract: A clearance control system for a gas turbine engine comprises at least one case support associated with an engine case defining an engine center axis. A clearance control ring is positioned adjacent the at least one case support to form an internal cavity between the engine case and the clearance control ring. The clearance control ring includes a first mount feature. An outer air seal has a second mount feature cooperating with the first mount feature such that the clearance control ring can move independently of the engine case in response to changes in temperature. An injection source inject flow into the internal cavity to control a temperature of the clearance control ring to allow the outer air seal to move in a desired direction to maintain a desired clearance between the outer air seal and an engine component. A gas turbine engine and a method of controlling tip clearance in a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a plurality of rotating components housed within a compressor section and a turbine section. A first tap is connected to the compressor section and configured to deliver air at a first pressure. A heat exchanger is connected downstream of the first tap and configured to deliver air to an aircraft fuselage. A cooling compressor is connected downstream of the heat exchanger. A high pressure feed is configured to deliver air at a second pressure which is higher than the first pressure. The cooling compressor is configured to deliver air to at least one of the plurality of rotating components. A valve assembly that can select whether air from the first tap or air from the high pressure feed is delivered to the aircraft pneumatic system.
