Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a fan rotor having fan blades received within an outer nacelle. The fan blades are provided with at least a first type having a first natural frequency, and a second type having a second natural frequency. The fan rotor has a first mount structure intended for the first type and a distinct second mount structure intended for the second type. The first type of fan blade fits into the first mount structure intended for the first type, but there is a first obstruction preventing the first type of fan blade from being placed into the second mount structure intended for the second type. The second type of fan blade fits into the second mount structure intended for the second type, but there is a second obstruction preventing the second type of fan blade from being placed into the first mount structure intended for the first type.

Abstract: A fluid damping structure is provided that includes a damper ring. The damper ring includes an annular body a plurality of fluid check valves, and at least one fluid stop. The annular body extends circumferentially around an axial centerline, and is defined by a first end surface, a second end surface, an outer radial surface, and an inner radial surface. The outer radial surface and the inner radial surface extend axially from the first end surface toward the second end surface. The body includes one or more check valve passages. Each check valve passage extends axially from an open end disposed at the first end surface inwardly toward the second end surface, and is disposed between the inner radial surface and the outer radial surface. An inlet aperture extends between each check valve passage and the outer radial surface, and an outlet aperture extends between each check valve passage and the inner radial surface. Each fluid check valve is disposed in a check valve passage. The at least one fluid stop is configured to prevent fluid exit from the open end of each check valve passage.

Abstract: A squeeze film damper includes a static member and a whirling member positioned adjacent to the static member. A gap is formed between the static member and the whirling member. A pressurized oil reservoir is formed in the gap between the static member and the whirling member. A first low pressure oil reservoir is formed in a first cavity in the whirling member, wherein the first low pressure oil reservoir is positioned on a first end of the pressurized oil reservoir. A second low pressure oil reservoir is formed in a second cavity in the whirling member, wherein the second low pressure oil reservoir is positioned on a second end of the pressurized oil reservoir. A first primary seal is positioned between the first end of the pressurized oil reservoir and the first low pressure oil reservoir, and a second primary seal is positioned between the second end of the pressurized oil reservoir and the second low pressure oil reservoir.

Abstract: A method of health monitoring of a gas turbine engine includes mounting a detection system configured to detect an aeromechanical damping characteristic of a row of airfoils of a gas turbine. An actual aeromechanical damping characteristic of the row of airfoils is measured with the detection system. An output signal is generated indicative of the actual aeromechanical damping characteristic of the row of airfoils. A current flutter characteristic is determined based on the output signal indicative of the actual aeromechanical damping characteristic of the row of airfoils. An airfoil health monitoring system for gas turbine engine and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
