    摘要: Fairing assemblies and methods for assembling gas turbine engine fairing assemblies are provided. For example, a fairing assembly comprises a plurality of fairings, an annular inner band defining a plurality of inner pockets, and an annular outer band defining a plurality of outer pockets. Each fairing has an inner end radially spaced apart from an outer end. Each inner pocket is shaped complementary to each fairing inner end and has forward and aft ends. Each outer pocket is shaped complementary to each fairing outer end and has forward and aft ends. The inner and outer bands are each a single piece structure. Each fairing inner end is received within one of the plurality of inner pockets, and each fairing outer end is received within one of the plurality of outer pockets. Some embodiments also comprise an inner ring positioned against the inner band to close the inner pockets.

    摘要: A turbojet engine with two thrust reverser modules. Each module includes an outer casing, an inner casing and a securing system for securing the inner casing to the outer casing which comprises first and second hoods. A housing between the hoods has a securing wall, a seal with a sausage secured to the securing wall, and a crusher rigidly secured to the second hood and arranged so as to crush the sausage towards the securing wall when the second hood goes from the spaced-apart position to the close-together position. Therefore, the sausage moves in the longitudinal direction, thus limiting shearing of the seal and transverse movements owing to the manufacturing and assembly tolerances and the movements in flight.

    摘要: A seal assembly includes at least one primary seal, whose ends terminate in a modified air duct that is housed in a precision bore located at the ends of the primary seal slots. The air duct functions to seal the primary seal slot ends. A slot milled in the face of the air duct allows the primary seal to pass through and terminate centrally in the air duct bore. Minimal interference between the bore and air duct prevents cooling air from escaping the bore, completing the seal. Proper specification of the length of the primary seal in conjunction with precise location of the air duct bores allows for ample thermal expansion without loss of sealing. Axial clearance between the mating bores and air duct ends provides allowance for build tolerance, thermal expansion and movements between mating nozzles including movements between corresponding vane manifold portions.

    摘要: The present invention presents a ring assembly 1 disposed radially outwardly of an array of circumferentially arranged blades 38 of a gas turbine engine rotor R. The ring assembly 1 includes ring segments 2 disposed circumferentially one adjacent to another and having a first circumferential end 2a and a second circumferential end 2b circumferentially spaced apart from each other. The first end 2a of a ring segment 2 and the second end 2b of an adjacent ring segment 2 of the plurality of ring segments 2 are arranged facing each other. An integrally formed projecting seal part 92 is formed at the first end 2a. An integrally formed receiving seal part 94 is formed at the second end 2b facing the first end 2a. The receiving seal part 94 receives the projecting seal part 92 to form a mating connection between the ring segment 2 and the adjacent ring segment 2. A gas turbine engine including the ring assembly 1 is also provided. Furthermore, a method of manufacturing the ring segment 2 of the ring assembly 1 is also provided.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine component includes a first member, a second member rotatable relative to the first member about an axis, and a seal assembly that includes a seal supported by the first member and a seal runner that rotates with the second member relative to the seal. The seal runner includes at least one internal passage to direct cooling fluid flow through the seal runner. A restriction is associated with the at least one internal passage to restrict flow through the at least one internal passage in response to an engine condition.
