    Abstract: A bearing assembly for a gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a bearing housing extending along an axis to define a bearing compartment, a lubricant seal assembly adjacent to the bearing housing to bound the bearing compartment, an air seal assembly defining a vent cavity along the bearing housing, wherein a mixing cavity is defined between the lubricant seal assembly and the air seal assembly, and wherein the bearing housing defines an airflow supply passage, an airflow vent passage and a scupper passage having respective fluid ports at different circumferential positions relative to the axis, the fluid port of the airflow vent passage fluidly coupled to the vent cavity, and the fluid ports of the airflow supply and scupper passages fluidly coupled to the mixing cavity. A method of sealing for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An assembly system for assembling a gas turbine engine including a support beam defining a horizontal plane for assembly of engine components along a horizontal axis substantially parallel with the support beam. A forward arm is supported on the support beam for supporting a forward portion of an engine component. An aft arm is supported on the support beam for supporting an aft portion of the engine component. An aft mounting ring is attachable to an aft end of an engine assembly. A forward mounting ring is attachable to a forward end of the engine assembly. A drive is mounted to the aft arm engageable to the aft mounting ring for rotating the engine assembly about the horizontal axis. A roller is supported on the forward arm and engageable to the forward mounting ring to support the first end of the engine assembly during rotation about the horizontal axis. A method is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a core housing that includes an inlet case and an intermediate case that respectively provide an inlet case flow path and an intermediate case flow path. A first shaft supports a low pressure compressor section that is arranged axially between the inlet case flow path and the intermediate case flow path. A first bearing supports the first shaft relative to the inlet case. A second bearing supports a second shaft relative to the intermediate case. A low pressure compressor hub is mounted to the first shaft. The low pressure compressor hub extends to the low pressure compressor section between the first bearing and the second bearing.

    Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a center body support for a gas turbine engine includes a fan exit guide vane mounting ring and an outer annular wall. An aft flange extends radially outward from the outer annular wall. An inner annular wall is radially spaced from and structurally interconnected to the outer annular wall by a circumferential array of struts. A brace interconnects the aft flange to a forward portion of the outer annular wall. The aft flange includes inner and outer mounting features spaced radially apart from one another. The inner and outer mounting feature respectively receive first and second sets of fasteners. The forward portion extends in a radially outward direction from the outer annular wall. The forward portion includes a forward mounting feature that receives a third set of fasteners. The outer and forward mounting features are secured to the fan exit guide vane mounting ring respectively by the first and third sets of fasteners. Forward, outer and inner mounting features define a triangular cross-sectional shape. The forward portion has a radial inner end opposite a radial outer end. The brace is joined at the radial outer end. The brace transfers an axial load from the aft flange to the radial outer end of the forward portion.

    Abstract: An airfoil module may have an outer diameter ring assembly, a vane assembly having a stator vane and an inner diameter ring assembly. The outer diameter ring assembly and the inner diameter ring assembly may be arranged concentrically with the stator vane of the vane assembly extending between them. The inner diameter ring assembly may have a first inner diameter ring section sealing end and a second inner diameter ring section sealing end. A feather seal may be disposed along the first inner diameter ring section sealing end. A stator ring assembly may comprise multiple airfoil modules arranged in an annulus. The outer diameter ring assemblies may be joined together by brazing or welding, or may share a unified outer diameter ring assembly. The inner diameter ring assemblies may abut feather seals so that the airfoil modules may expand and contract independently along the inner diameter ring assemblies.
