Abstract: An airfoil assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a first blade having a first leading edge and a first trailing edge, and a second blade circumferentially spaced from the first blade where the second blade has a second leading edge and a second trailing edge. The first blade includes a feature formed on the first leading edge where the first blade includes a chord extending from the first leading edge to the first trailing edge. The chord is located radially where a projection of a line normal to an intersection of the chord with the first trailing edge intersects the second leading edge. At least a portion of the feature is radially located at or inboard of the chord.

Abstract: A build unit for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects may include an energy beam system having one or more irradiation devices respectively configured to direct one or more energy beams onto a region of a powder bed, and an inertization system including an irradiation chamber defining an irradiation plenum, one or more supply manifolds, and a return manifold. The one or more supply manifolds may include a downflow manifold configured to provide a downward flow of a process gas through at least a portion of the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber, and/or a crossflow manifold configured to provide a lateral flow of the process gas through at least a portion of the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber. The return manifold may evacuate or otherwise remove process gas from the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber.

Abstract: An exhaust nozzle for a gas turbine engine. The exhaust nozzle comprises a nozzle body having an upstream end axially spaced from a downstream end with respect to an axial centerline of the nozzle body, and a plurality of chevrons circumferentially spaced apart and extending downstream from the downstream end. Each chevron includes an inner wall radially spaced from an outer wall, a root and a tip axially spaced from the root. At least one chevron of the plurality of chevrons includes a first segment extending axially downstream from the root, a second segment extending axially downstream from the first segment, and a third segment extending axially downstream from the second segment to the tip. The inner wall extends along the first segment, the second segment, and third the segment. The first segment is distinguishable from the second segment and the second segment is distinguishable from the third segment.
