    摘要: An integrated bladed rotor of a gas turbine engine is provided. The integrated bladed rotor includes a hub having a rotation axis and a radially outer platform relative to the rotation axis, and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the outer platform of the hub. The blades are integrally formed with the hub to define a monolithic component with the hub. Two or more of the blades each include: an airfoil including a groove formed in an outer surface of the airfoil to mitigate crack propagation, and a root fillet providing a transition between the outer platform of the hub and the airfoil.

    摘要: A fan blade anti-icing system comprises a fan hub and a fan blade extending radially outwardly from the fan hub. The fan blade has a base and an airfoil extending radially outwardly from the fan base. The airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a convex side surface between the leading and trailing edge and a concave side surface between the leading and trailing edge. The fan blade further has a radial passage extending from a blade air inlet in the blade base in communication with a source of heated air, and a rearwardly directed passage in communication with the radial passage and having a blade air outlet forward of the trailing edge and oriented tangentially to the convex side surface or concave side surface of the airfoil.

    摘要: A method of reducing stress concentration in a material subjected to a predominant stress in a direction parallel to an axial plane defined through an axis of a circular cylindrical hole in the material between a first material surface and a second material surface, the material having a material thickness defined between the first material surface and the second material surface, the method comprising: forming a first proximal recess in the first material surface on the axial plane having a depth less than the material thickness, the first proximal recess having an outer edge spaced a first proximal dimension in the axial plane from a first rim of the hole; and forming a second proximal recess in the second material surface on the axial plane having a depth less than the material thickness, the second proximal recess having an outer edge spaced a second proximal dimension in the axial plane from a second rim of the hole, wherein the first proximal dimension on the first material surface is diametrically opposite, relative to the hole, to the second proximal dimension on the second material surface.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine rotor including a disc adapted to be mounted for rotation about an axis, the disc including an annular balancing flange integrally connected thereto, the balancing flange having a first radial dimension around a first arc angle and a second radial dimension greater than the first radial dimension around a second arc angle, the second arc angle corresponding to 360 minus the first arc angle, the second arc angle being less than 180 degrees, the balancing flange around the second arc angle defining a protuberance, the protuberance being defined through machining of the balancing flange, the protuberance compensating for an unbalance of the rotor.
