Abstract: A coupling has: a first coupler rotatable about an axis and defining first connections distributed about the axis; a second coupler defining second connections distributed about the axis, the second connections offset from the first connections; and segments distributed about the axis and extending radially from the first connections to the second connections, a segment of the segments having a first end engaging a first connection of the first connections and a second end engaging a second connection of the second connections, the first end circumferentially offset from the second end, a face of the segment abutting against a face of the first coupler when the segment is inserted into the first connection in a first orientation such that a penetration depth of the segment into the first connection in the first orientation is less than the penetration depth in a second orientation opposite the first orientation.

Abstract: A cooling system for a gas turbine engine comprises a closed circuit containing a change-phase fluid, at least one heat exchanger configured to receive a first coolant from a first engine system for the change-phase fluid in the closed circuit to absorb heat from the first coolant, whereby the cooling system is configured so that the change-phase fluid at least partially vaporizes when absorbing heat from the at least one heat exchanger. The closed circuit has a cooling exchanger adjacent to an annular wall of a bypass duct, the cooling exchanger configured to be exposed to a flow of cooling air in the bypass duct for the change-phase fluid to release heat to the cooling air and condense at least partially, the cooling exchanger having conduits configured to feed the vaporized change-phase fluid from a heat exchange with the at least one heat exchanger to the cooling exchanger, and to direct condensed change-phase fluid by gravity from the cooling exchanger to the at least one heat exchanger.

Abstract: An integrally bladed fan (IBF) rotor of a gas turbine engine. The IBF rotor includes a hub and a plurality of fan blades extending radially outwardly from the hub and integral therewith. The hub has a fan attachment flange disposed at an end of the hub on a trailing edge side thereof for mounting a booster rotor to a trailing edge side of the fan. The fan attachment flange is disposed at a radial distance from a longitudinal center axis of the integrally bladed fan rotor. The hub has an outer hub surface disposed radially inward from the radial distance of the fan attachment flange.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering a buffer fluid to a shaft seal of a gas turbine engine are provided. An exemplary system includes, a buffer fluid source, one or more first conduits providing fluid communication between the buffer fluid source and the shaft seal along a first route, and one or more second conduits providing fluid communication between the buffer fluid source and the shaft seal along a second route different from the first route. A heat exchanger is also disposed along the first route to facilitate heat transfer between buffer fluid in the one or more first conduits and a cooling fluid.
