Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft includes: a flow path boundary, which delimits the flow path through the engine radially on the outside, and a lining, which lines the flow path boundary on the inside, at least along an axial section. Here, the lining includes a plurality of panels, which, in the circumferential direction of the flow path boundary, adjoin each other and which together line a circumferential area of 360°, wherein each panel has two end faces, which each adjoin an end face of an adjacent panel. The panels are of beveled design at their end faces, such that two mutually adjoining panels form a V-shaped gap between them, the minimum clearance of which is realized at the inside of the panels. The panels can be sound-absorbing panels. Also disclosed is a panel for a gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft comprises: an engine core comprising a turbine, a compressor, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor. The gas turbine engine further comprises a core casing surrounding the engine core. The gas turbine engine further comprises a core cowl surrounding the engine core and the core casing. The gas turbine engine further comprises an engine accessory gearbox driven by a take-off from the core shaft. The gas turbine engine further comprises an oil system having one or more oil pumps powered by the engine accessory gearbox for circulating lubricating oil around components of the engine including the engine accessory gearbox, and having an oil tank for receiving and storing oil scavenged from the engine components before recirculation thereto. The gas turbine engine further comprises an oil fill line which extends from the engine accessory gearbox to an inlet port accessible from the core cowl, the oil tank being fillable from the inlet port via the fill line and the engine accessory gearbox.

Abstract: A method of diffusion bonding two components together comprises providing a first component having a first bonding surface, and a second component having a second bonding surface. Each of the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface is etched. A cold working process is applied to each of the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface. Each of the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface is then etched. The first component is positioned adjacent to the second component with the first bonding surface abutting against the second bonding surface, to define a joint surface between the first component and the second component. A peripheral edge of the joint surface is sealed. The first bonding surface is diffusion bonded to the second bonding surface.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a cycle operability parameter β in a defined range to achieve improved overall performance, taking into account fan operability and/or bird strike requirements as well as engine efficiency. The defined range of cycle operability parameter β may be particularly beneficial for gas turbine engines in which the fan is driven by a turbine through a gearbox.
