Abstract: A turbine shroud segment has a shroud body including a platform having forward and aft hooks extending from a radially outer surface of the platform for engagement with a shroud support structure of a turbine support case. A pin receiving hole is defined in the shroud body. An anti-rotation pin is engaged in the pin receiving hole. The anti-rotation pin projects outwardly from the pin receiving hole for engagement with a corresponding anti-rotation abutment on the shroud support structure.

Abstract: A service tube assembly comprises a service tube having a threaded end portion and a shoulder. The outer shoulder has a conical surface converging in a direction away from the threaded end portion. The threaded end portion is threadably engaged with a mating part. The mating part has a seat surface which cooperates with the shoulder of the service tube to form a conical seat. The assembly further includes a locking member having an outer conical surface complementary to the conical seat. A mechanical fastener is provided for releasably holding the locking member against the conical seat.

Abstract: A turbine exhaust case (TEC) has an outer case and an inner case structurally interconnected by a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart struts. At least one of the struts has an airfoil body with a hollow core. The airfoil body has opposed pressure and suction sides extending chordwise from a leading edge to a trailing edge and spanwise from a radially inner end to a radially outer end. The radially inner end of the strut has a strut wall extension that extends through the inner case to a location radially inward of the inner case relative to the central axis.

Abstract: A multi-spool gas turbine engine comprises a low pressure (LP) spool and a high pressure (HP) spool. The LP spool and the HP spool are independently rotatable about an axis. The LP pressure spool has an LP compressor and an LP turbine. The HP spool has an HP turbine and an HP compressor. An accessory gear box (AGB) is axially mounted at one end of the engine. The LP compressor is axially positioned between the HP compressor and the AGB. The AGB is drivingly connected to the HP spool through the center of the LP compressor.

Abstract: An exhaust mixer for a gas turbine engine includes an annular wall having upstream end adapted to be fastened to an engine case and a downstream end forming a plurality of inner and outer mixer lobes. A support member interconnects at least a number of the inner lobes, and includes a circumferentially extending stiffener ring located radially inwardly from the inner lobes and a series of circumferentially spaced apart mixer struts radially extending from the inner lobes to the stiffener ring. The mixer struts have a radial length at least equal to a width of a main gas path defined between the inner lobes and the exhaust cone such that the mixer struts extend entirely through the main gas path. The stiffener ring being fixed solely to the mixer struts such as to float with respect to the exhaust cone and permit relative movement therebetween.
