Abstract: A shroud assembly for a turbine engine having a centerline axis. The shroud assembly having a shroud hanger, at least one shroud segment, and at least one biasing element extending between the two. The biasing element configured to radially bias the at least one shroud segment between an outboard position and an inboard position radially outward from the outboard position with respect to the centerline axis.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan located at a forward portion of the gas turbine engine, 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 at least a portion of the compressor section and with at least a portion of the turbine section. An outlet guide vane assembly includes multiple outlet guide vanes located in an exhaust airflow path downstream of the turbine section. The multiple outlet guide vanes being spaced-apart circumferentially from each other over an angular range of about 360 degrees, and each multiple outlet guide vane defining a radial extent. At least one of the multiple outlet guide vanes includes a cold fluid passageway extending at least partially radially therethrough through which a fluid coolant flows and another of the multiple guide vanes includes a heated fluid passageway extending at least partially radially therethrough through which the fluid coolant flows and receives heat from exhaust airflow from the core airflow path.

Abstract: A turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section, and an airfoil with an outer wall defining a pressure side and a suction side and extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a mean camber line. A first thickness is defined between the pressure side and the suction side at a first location along the mean camber line.
