Abstract: A turbomachine engine including a high-pressure compressor, a high-pressure turbine, a combustion chamber in flow communication with the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine, and a power turbine in flow communication with the high-pressure turbine. At least one of the high-pressure compressor, the high-pressure turbine, and the power turbine comprises a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material. The turbomachine engine includes a low-pressure shaft coupled to the power turbine and characterized by a midshaft rating (MSR) between two hundred (ft/sec)1/2 and three hundred (ft/sec)1/2. The low-pressure shaft has a redline speed between fifty and two hundred fifty feet per second (ft/sec). The turbomachine engine is configured to operate up to the redline speed without passing through a critical speed associated with a first-order bending mode of the low-pressure shaft.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine having an interdigitated turbine assembly including a first turbine rotor and a second turbine rotor, wherein a total number of stages at the interdigitated turbine assembly is between 3 and 8, and an average stage pressure ratio at the interdigitated turbine assembly is between 1.3 and 1.9. A gear assembly is configured to receive power from the interdigitated turbine assembly, and a fan assembly is configured to receive power from the gear assembly. The interdigitated turbine assembly and the gear assembly are together configured to allow the second turbine rotor to rotate at a second rotational speed greater than a first rotational speed at the first turbine rotor. The fan assembly and the gear assembly are together configured to allow the fan assembly to rotate at a third rotational speed less than the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed. The interdigitated turbine assembly, the gear assembly, and the fan assembly together have a maximum AN2 at the second turbine rotor between 30 and 90.

Abstract: A turbine assembly including a first rotor assembly with a rotatable outer drum from which one or more stages of a plurality of outer drum airfoils is extended radially inward is provided. An outer casing surrounds the outer drum of the first rotor assembly. A seal assembly is coupled to the outer casing and positioned radially outward from an upstream-most stage of the plurality of outer drum airfoils. The seal assembly is positioned in axial alignment with the upstream-most stage of the plurality of outer drum airfoils. The seal assembly separates a first plenum from a second plenum. The second plenum is formed axially aft of the first plenum and is formed by the seal assembly, the outer casing, and the outer drum of the first rotor assembly. The first plenum is positioned radially outward from the upstream-most stage of the plurality of outer drum airfoils.
