摘要： A nose cone assembly for a gas turbine engine is disclosed herein. The nose cone assembly includes a spinner body having an outer surface and extending axially between an upstream portion generally tapering to a truncated first end and a base portion generally cylindrical in cross-section at a second end. The nose cone assembly also includes a flange positioned radially inward of the outer surface and axially adjacent to the base portion. The nose cone assembly also includes a plurality of first apertures defined in the flange for removably connecting the spinner body to a fan of a gas turbine engine. The nose cone assembly also includes a second aperture defined in the spinner body through which all of the plurality of first apertures can be accessed for attaching or removing the nose cone assembly from the fan.

摘要： A fan containment system for a gas turbine engine, and a method of making the same, is disclosed that in one embodiment includes casing that surrounds at least a portion of a plurality of fan blades. In one form, a pair of standoff rings is formed in an outer surface of the casing that are spaced apart from one another a predetermined distance running circumferentially about the inner nacelle ring. A containment ring is positioned around a radially outer surface of the standoff rings to form an interference fit between the two.

摘要： A plug assembly is disclosed herein for a borescope inspection path defined through apertures in spaced walls. The plug assembly includes a first plug operable to at least partially close a first aperture in an inner wall. The plug assembly also includes a second plug operable to at least partially close a second aperture in an outer wall. The plug assembly also includes a member extending along an axis and connecting the first and second plugs together in spaced relation to one another along the axis. The member is operable to elastically buckle.
