    摘要: An apparatus is provided for a gas turbine engine. This gas turbine engine apparatus includes a first platform, a second platform, a plurality of vanes and a plurality of beams. The first platform extends axially along and circumferentially about an axis. The second platform extends axially along and circumferentially about the axis. The vanes are arranged circumferentially about the axis. Each of the vanes extends radially across a gas path between the first platform and the second platform. The vanes include a first vane movably connected to the first platform. The beams are arranged circumferentially about the axis. The beams are fixedly connected to the first platform and the second platform. The beams include a first beam extending radially through the first vane.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine has a mid turbine frame disposed between turbine rotor assemblies. The mid turbine frame includes hollow airfoils radially extending through an annular gas path duct. The airfoils each include a double-walled leading edge structure to define a front chamber separated from a rear chamber defined in the remaining space within the airfoil.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine comprising: a duct extending about an axis, the duct including an outer-duct wall having an interior-duct surface circumscribing an interior of the duct and an exterior-duct surface radially outward of the interior-duct surface relative to the axis, the outer-duct wall defining an offtake opening extending from the interior-duct surface to the exterior-duct surface, the offtake opening in fluid communication between an offtake location inside the duct and outside the duct, and a bleed air offtake assembly including: an air line in fluid communication with inside the duct via the offtake opening, the air line having a first-line end defining a line inlet proximate to the outer-duct wall and a second-line end spaced from the first-line end; a valve located outside the duct and fluidly connected to the air line via the second-line end, and a conduit having a conduit inlet in fluid communication with inside the air line at a resonance location between the first-line end and the second-line end upstream of the valve, and a conduit outlet in fluid communication with inside the duct at a relief location spaced from the offtake location.

    摘要: A turboprop gas turbine engine mountable to an aircraft has an engine core and a gearbox driving a propeller, the engine core and the gearbox being enclosed within a nacelle. The propeller is located rearward of the gearbox and the engine core relative to a direction of travel of the aircraft. An air intake is disposed within the nacelle and formed to direct ambient air into the engine core. The air intake includes an air inlet duct, having a forward-facing intake inlet receiving the ambient air, with an upstream section and a downstream section. The upstream section is in fluid communication with the intake inlet and extends downstream from the intake inlet. The downstream section fluidly connects to and directs air from the upstream section into the engine air inlet. A second air outlet duct is located within the nacelle and directs air into an air-cooled-oil-cooler (ACOC).

    摘要: A gas turbine engine has a first spool having a low pressure compressor section disposed forward of an air inlet along a direction of travel of the engine, and a low pressure turbine section disposed forward of the low pressure compressor section and drivingly engaged thereto. A second spool has a high pressure compressor section disposed forward of the low pressure compressor section, and a high pressure turbine section disposed forward of the high pressure compressor section and drivingly engaged thereto. The high pressure turbine section is disposed aft of the low pressure turbine section. An output drive shaft drivingly engages the low pressure turbine section and extends forwardly therefrom to drive a rotatable load. A method of operating a gas turbine engine is also discussed.
