Abstract: An example gas turbine engine includes a compressor including a casing defining a passageway and a shaft extending through the passageway. The shaft drivingly coupling the compressor and a turbine of the gas turbine engine. The shaft has an opening to receive airflow from the passageway. The gas turbine engine also includes an inner shroud, stator vanes coupled to and extending radially between the casing and the inner shroud, and an offtake scoop disposed on a downstream side of the inner shroud. The offtake scoop has a channel to direct the airflow radially inward toward the opening in the shaft.

Abstract: Compact bleed valve assemblies are disclosed. An example turbine engine comprises a rotor blade having an axial chord (C) measured at a tip of the rotor blade, and a variable bleed valve (VBV) including a VBV port defining a bleed flowpath and an exit angle (βexit) for bleed air exiting the VBV port, the VBV port including a forward entrance edge and an aft exit edge and a first length (LA) therebetween, and a VBV door corresponding to the VBV port, the VBV door to generate a bleed cavity having a bleed cavity area (BA) in the VBV port when the VBV is in a closed position, the VBV door to move between an open position and the closed position at a rotation angle (Δθ), the VBV door to extend a distance (LAact) beyond the first length (LA), wherein

Abstract: A lock lug for inhibiting movement of a plurality of rotor blades includes a body and an engagement mechanism. The body is sized and configured to be received within the rim slot of the rotor disk and defines a dovetail receiving aperture. The engagement mechanism extends from the body and has a retracted configuration configured to allow entry and exit of a dovetail of at least one or more of the plurality of rotor blades into and out of the dovetail receiving aperture and an extended configuration configured to block the dovetail from entering the dovetail receiving aperture.
