    Abstract: A seal for an aircraft engine includes an annular body receivable in interference fit in a radial spacing defined between inner and outer cylindrical components of the aircraft engine, the annular body defining a central axis coaxial with the inner and outer cylindrical components, the annular body including an inner portion defining an inner diameter, an outer portion defining an outer diameter, and an intermediate portion extending between the inner and outer portions. The outer portion is slidably engageable to the outer cylindrical component at an outer contact sealing portion of the annular body. One of the inner portion and the outer portion defines at least one cut extending from the one of the inner portion and the outer portion toward another one of the inner portion and the outer portion. A method for sealing a radial spacing between coaxial cylindrical components in an aircraft engine is also described.

    Abstract: A centrifugal compressor of an aircraft engine includes an impeller and a shroud extending circumferentially around the impeller. A bellmouth disposed upstream of the impeller extends circumferentially and includes: a conduit section extending from a first end to an upstream-most location of the bellmouth, the first end of the conduit section secured to the shroud, and a peripheral section extending from the upstream-most location to a second end located radially outwardly of the first end, the peripheral section located radially outwardly of the conduit section and axially overlapping the conduit section. A stiffening member is located on the peripheral section of the bellmouth proximate the second end. The stiffening member extends circumferentially and provides the bellmouth with a dynamic vibration mode outside a range of dynamic vibration modes of the aircraft engine during operation.

    Abstract: A compressor rotor for a gas turbine engine includes a hub disposed about an axis of rotation and an outer surface forming a radially inner gaspath boundary, the outer surface defining a nominal hub diameter. A circumferential array of blades extends radially outwardly from the hub. A first inter-blade passage is defined between a first set of adjacent blades and has a first throat area. A second inter-blade passage is defined between a second set of adjacent blades and has a second throat area that is smaller than the first throat area. At least one scoop is disposed in the second inter-blade passage, the scoop defining a cavity extending radially into the outer surface of the hub relative to the nominal hub diameter.

    Abstract: A flow regulating device in a fluid system according to one embodiment may include a housing defining a cavity receiving an orifice body. The orifice body defines a bore extending axially therethrough and includes a flexible end section, with axial slits in one example, to allow the end section to be radially compressed to change a cross-section of a flow passageway when the bore of the orifice body is included in the flow passageway.

    Abstract: A component of an aircraft engine includes an annular flange disposed about a radially outer surface of the component. the annular flange includes an annular wall extending radially outwardly from the radially outer surface of the component. The annular wall includes radially-extending supports circumferentially spaced apart and extending radially between the radially outer surface of the component and a circumferentially uninterrupted radially outer rim of the annular wall. The annular wall includes one or more arcuate cutouts defined circumferentially between adjacent radially-extending supports and radially inwards of the radially outer rim of the annular wall. The radially-extending supports include fastener openings defined axially therethrough. A spigot extends axially from the radially outer rim of the annular wall and circumferentially about an entire circumference of the radially outer rim of the annular wall.
