Abstract: A turbomachinery engine includes a fan assembly, a low-pressure turbine, and a gearbox. The fan assembly includes a plurality of fan blades. The low-pressure turbine includes 3-5 rotating stages. The low-pressure turbine includes an area ratio equal to the annular exit area of an aft-most rotating stage of the low-pressure turbine divided by the annular exit area of a forward-most rotating stage of the low-pressure turbine. In some instances, the area ratio is within a range of 3.1-5.1.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan located at a forward portion of the gas turbine engine, and a compressor section and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order. The compressor section and the turbine section together define a core airflow path. A rotary member is rotatable with the fan and with a low pressure turbine of the turbine section. The low pressure turbine includes a rotating drum to which a first airfoil structure is connected and extends radially inward toward the rotary member. A torque frame connects the rotating drum to the rotary member and transfers torque from the first airfoil structure mounted to the rotating drum to the rotary member. The torque frame includes an inner disk mounted to the rotary member, an outer ring and a second airfoil structure formed separately from the outer ring and connected thereto by a releasable connecting structure. The second airfoil structure extends radially inward from the outer ring toward the inner disk.

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 a heat absorption device and an associated method are disclosed. The gas turbine engine includes a compressor having a compressor discharge nozzle, a combustor coupled to the compressor, a turbine coupled to the combustor and the compressor, a fluid flow passage fluidly coupling the compressor and the turbine and bypassing the combustor, and a heat absorption device disposed fluidly along the fluid flow passage at a first predefined location. The heat absorption device includes a casing having an inlet and an outlet, a flow path within the casing and extending between the inlet and the outlet, wherein the flow path directs an input bleed flow diverted from a fluid stream discharged from the compressor, and a phase change material hermetically sealed within the casing. The phase change material is separated from the flow path. The heat absorption device is configured to exchange heat between the phase change material and the input bleed flow to generate an output bleed flow of a different temperature than the input bleed flow and discharge the output bleed flow to a second predefined location different from the first predefined location.
