Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan, a core engine, a bypass passage, and a bypass ratio defined as the volume of air passing into the bypass passage compared to the volume of air passing into the core engine, the bypass ratio being greater than or equal to 10. A gear arrangement drives the fan. A compressor section includes both a low pressure compressor and a high pressure compressor. A turbine section drives the gear arrangement. An overall pressure ratio is provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the low pressure compressor and a pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor, and greater than 50, measured at sea level and at a static, full-rated takeoff power. The pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor is greater than 7.
Abstract:
An accessory system for a gas turbine engine includes an accessory gearbox which defines an accessory gearbox axis and includes first and second sides. A first geartrain includes one or more shafts rotatable about axes perpendicular to the first side of the accessory gearbox and a second geartrain includes one or more shafts rotatable about axes perpendicular to the second side of the accessory gearbox. A driven gear set defines an input axis and drives first geartrain and the second geartrain about corresponding first and second drive axes parallel to the input axis.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan section, a core engine, a bypass passage, and a bypass ratio defined as the volume of air passing into the bypass passage compared to the volume of air passing into the core engine, the bypass ratio being greater than 8 at cruise power. A gear arrangement drives the fan section. A guide vane includes a forward attachment, the forward attachment positioned aft of a plumbing connection area. A compressor section includes both a first compressor and a second compressor. A lubrication system and a compressed air system are in fluid communication with the gear arrangement. A turbine section drives the gear arrangement, and includes a low pressure turbine. An overall pressure ratio is provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the first compressor and a pressure ratio across the second compressor, and greater than about 50, measured at sea level and at a static, full-rated takeoff power. The pressure ratio across the second compressor is greater than about 7.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fan section, a first compressor section including three (3) or more stages, a second compressor section including between eight (8) and thirteen (13) stages, and a first turbine section operable for driving the first compressor section, the first turbine section including between three (3) and six (6) stages, a second turbine section operable for driving the second compressor section, and a gear train defined along an engine centerline axis. One of the first turbine section and the second turbine section is operable to drive the fan section through the gear train.
Abstract:
A thermal system for a gas turbine engine includes a bypass flow duct and a compressor flow duct which meets with the bypass flow duct at an intersection. A valve is located within the intersection and is movable between a first position and a second position. First position is operable to selectively communicate fan bypass flow from the bypass flow duct and block the compressor flow duct. The second position is operable to selectively block the bypass flow duct and communicate bleed flow through the compressor flow duct.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has a fan section, a gear arrangement configured to drive the fan section, a compressor section, including both a low pressure compressor section and a high pressure compressor section. A turbine section is configured to drive the compressor section and the gear arrangement. An overall pressure ratio provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the low pressure compressor section and a pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor section is greater than about 35. The pressure ratio across a first of the low and high pressure compressor sections is between about 3 and about 8. The pressure ratio across a second of the low and high pressure compressor sections is between about 7 and about 15. The fan is configured to deliver a portion of air into the compressor section, and a portion of air into a bypass duct.
