摘要: A turbofan engine (20; 300; 400) comprises a fan (28), a fan drive gear system (60), a fan shaft (120) coupling the fan drive gear system to the fan, a low spool, an intermediate spool, and a core spool. The low spool engages at least three main bearings of which at least two are non-thrust bearings and at least one is a thrust bearing. The fan shaft engages at least two bearings (148, 150). The core spool engages at least two bearings (250, 260). The intermediate spool engages at least two of said bearings (220, 200, 230; 220, 200, 230-2; 200, 220, 230-3).

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a very high speed low pressure turbine such that a quantity defined by the exit area of the low pressure turbine multiplied by the square of the low pressure turbine rotational speed compared to the same parameters for the high pressure turbine is at a ratio between about 0.5 and about 1.5.

摘要: A heat exchanger (HEX) for cooling air in a gas turbine engine is provided. The HEX may comprise an intake manifold in fluid communication with a compressor section and configured to receive air from the compressor section, an outtake manifold in fluid communication with the intake manifold via a tube, and a cooling air flow path defined by at least one of an outer surface of the tube, an outer surface of the intake manifold, and an outer surface of the outtake manifold, wherein the cooling air flow path is orthogonal to said tube. The air from the intake manifold may travel through the tube to the outtake manifold and from the outtake manifold to a portion of the gas turbine engine.

摘要: A gas turbine engine comprises a compressor section and a turbine section, the compressor section having a last compressor stage. High pressure cooling air is tapped from a location downstream of the last compressor stage and passed through a heat exchanger. Lower pressure air passes across the heat exchanger to cool the high pressure cooling air. A housing surrounds the compressor section and the turbine section and there being a space radially outwardly of the housing, and a mixing chamber received in the space radially outwardly of the housing, the mixing chamber receiving the high pressure cooling air downstream of the heat exchanger, and further receiving air at a temperature higher than a temperature of the high pressure cooling air downstream of the heat exchanger. Mixed air from the mixing chamber is returned into the housing and utilized to cool at least the turbine section.

摘要: A method of determining a use for substantially the same gas turbine engine components and comprises the steps of receiving manufacturing information about a plurality of gas turbine engine components; classifying each of the plurality of gas turbine engine components into at least two categories, with a first category being components closer to a specification than a second category; and recommending a suggested future use for the first category on aircraft that will operate in more challenging flight conditions and for the second category on aircraft that will operate in less challenging flight conditions. A system is also disclosed.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a gear system that provides a speed reduction between a fan drive turbine and a fan rotor. Aspects of the gear system are provided with some flexibility. The fan drive turbine has a first exit area and rotates at a first speed. A second turbine section has a second exit area and rotates at a second speed, which is faster than said first speed. A performance quantity can be defined for both turbine sections as the products of the respective areas and respective speeds squared. A performance quantity ratio of the performance quantity for the fan drive turbine to the performance quantity for the second turbine section is relatively high.

摘要: A gas turbine engine has a fan rotor, a first compressor rotor and a second compressor rotor. The second compressor rotor compresses air to a higher pressure than the first compressor rotor. A first turbine rotor drives the second compressor rotor and a second turbine rotor. The second turbine drives the compressor rotor. A fan drive turbine is positioned downstream of the second turbine rotor. The fan drive turbine drives the fan through a gear reduction. The first compressor rotor and second turbine rotor rotate as an intermediate speed spool. The second compressor rotor and first turbine rotor together as a high speed spool. The high speed spool and the fan drive turbine configured to rotate in the same first direction. The intermediate speed spool rotates in an opposed, second direction.
