    摘要: A core engine includes a first tierod and a compressor rotor assembly including a plurality of compressor rotor disks arranged in a face to face orientation and spaced along the first tierod. The core engine includes a second tierod and a turbine rotor assembly including a plurality of turbine rotor disks arranged in a face to face orientation and spaced along the second tierod. The compressor rotor assembly is aft of the turbine rotor assembly.

    摘要: An in-line propeller gearbox of a turboprop gas turbine engine includes an epicyclic gearing arrangement that has a sun gear, a ring gear and at least one planet gear disposed between and meshing with both the sun gear and the ring gear. The propeller gearbox includes a disk brake that can be operated to slow down or stop altogether the rotation of the propeller. The disk brake has an axially extending shaft having at one end a disk and at the opposite end a gear having teeth that engage with one of the gears in the epicyclic gearing arrangement. The disk brake includes a hydraulic caliper or an electric caliper that can be actuated to slow down rotation of the disk to an eventual full stop and to hold the disk at full stop to thereby stop rotation of the propeller.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a system for bleeding air from a compressed gas path of a gas turbine engine. The system includes an impeller positioned at a downstream end of a compressor in the gas turbine engine. The impeller includes an impeller hub, an impeller arm coupled to the impeller hub, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart impeller vanes extending radially outwardly from the impeller arm. The impeller arm defines an impeller arm aperture extending therethrough. A vortex spoiler is positioned radially inwardly from the impeller arm and defines a vortex spoiler passage extending radially therethrough. Bleed air flows from the compressed gas path radially inwardly through both the impeller arm aperture and the vortex spoiler passage.
