    摘要: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a fan that is rotatable about a fan axis, a core engine that is configured for generating a gas flow utilized to generate shaft power for driving the fan, a nacelle that surrounds the core engine and the fan, a condenser where water in the gas flow is condensed into a liquid form, an exhaust duct assembly where the gas flow exhausted from the core engine is directed to the condenser, an ejector duct where a portion of a bypass airflow is thermally communicated with the condenser to cool the gas flow, and an evaporator assembly that is in thermal communication with the exhaust duct where water recovered by the condenser is heated to generate a steam flow that is subsequently communicated to the core engine.

    摘要: A blade outer airseal assembly of a gas turbine engine includes a blade outer airseal (BOAS) segment, and a BOAS carrier positioned radially outboard of the BOAS segment relative to an engine central longitudinal axis. The BOAS segment is secured to the BOAS carrier, and an adjustment lever is operably connected to the BOAS carrier. Rotation of the adjustment lever about a pivot axis at a pivot urges movement of the BOAS segment in a radial direction.

    摘要: An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section and a flowpath extending sequentially through the compressor section, the combustor section and the turbine section. The assembly also includes a turbine rotor, a propulsor rotor and an auxiliary turbine. The turbine rotor is within the turbine section. The turbine rotor is configured to rotatably drive the propulsor rotor. The auxiliary turbine includes an auxiliary turbine rotor. The auxiliary turbine rotor is configured to rotatably drive the propulsor rotor with the turbine rotor. The auxiliary turbine is configured to receive bleed gas from the flowpath.

    摘要: A bearing assembly is provided that includes a frame, a magnetic bearing stator and a foil bearing. The frame extends axially along and circumferentially about an axis. The frame includes an inner bore and a plurality of channels arranged circumferentially about the axis. The magnetic bearing stator includes a stator body and a plurality of windings. The stator body circumscribes the frame. The stator body includes a plurality of stator protrusions arranged circumferentially about the axis. Each of the stator protrusions projects radially inward into a respective one of the channels. Each of the windings is wrapped around a respective one of the stator protrusions. The foil bearing is disposed within the inner bore and retained to the frame.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a fan shaft rotatable about an axis, a fan connected to the fan shaft, and an outer housing surrounding the fan to define a bypass passage. A compressor section has both a low pressure compressor that is fixed to rotate with the fan shaft and a high pressure compressor. A turbine section has a low pressure turbine driving a low speed spool and a high pressure turbine driving the high pressure compressor. The low pressure turbine includes rotating blades and a static structure aft of the rotating blades. A fan drivetrain includes a geared architecture connecting the low speed spool to the fan shaft such that the fan and low pressure compressor rotate at a lower speed than the low pressure turbine. A thrust bearing is axially aft of the geared architecture and axially forward of the high pressure compressor. A tower shaft is rotatably driven by the low speed spool.
