摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine comprising a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order; a fan defining a fan axis and comprising a plurality of fan blades rotatable about the fan axis; and a pitch change mechanism operable with the plurality of fan blades to control a pitch of the plurality of fan blades. The pitch change mechanism imparts a torque to each fan blade of the plurality of fan blades via first and second forces imparted in opposite directions to each fan blade of the plurality of fan blades.

摘要: A gearbox assembly includes a plurality of planet gears secured by a planet carrier. The plurality of planet gears and the planet carrier rotate about a longitudinal centerline axis. A planet pin is disposed in each planet gear. One or more journal bearings are defined by the planet pin and the planet gear, each planet gear rotating about the one or more journal bearings. The gearbox assembly includes an auxiliary lubrication system that stores lubricant therein. The auxiliary lubrication system includes one or more lubricant lines that provide fluid communication between the auxiliary lubrication system and the one or more journal bearings. Rotation of the planet carrier and the one or more journal bearings generates a suction effect that causes the lubricant in the auxiliary lubrication system to flow to the one or more journal bearings during windmilling conditions and during zero gravity conditions or negative gravity conditions.

摘要: An airfoil assembly has a platform and an airfoil. The platform has an upstream edge, a downstream edge, and a surface extending between the upstream edge and the downstream edge. At least a portion of the surface extends circumferentially along a surface baseline defined by a constant radial distance from the rotational axis. The airfoil has an outer wall. The outer wall extends between a root and a tip, and between a leading edge and a trialing edge. The airfoil assembly includes a fence provided along the outer wall.
