    摘要: There is disclosed a diffuser pipe assembly having: a plurality of diffuser pipes circumferentially distributed around the central axis and configured for diffusing a flow of compressed air received from an impeller, the diffuser pipes having a diffuser conduit for directing the flow of compressed air, the diffuser conduit curving between an inlet end and an outlet end along a conduit axis, the diffuser conduit having a baseline surface, a first subset of the diffuser pipes having aero-dampers protruding from the baseline surfaces of their diffuser conduits such that the diffuser pipes of the first subset have a natural vibration frequency different than a natural vibration frequency of at least a second subset of the diffuser pipes.

    摘要: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine comprises at least three successive sections defined between a root and a tip. A first decrease of maximum thickness-to-chord ratios defined by a difference between a maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at the root and a maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at a first spanwise position, a second decrease of the maximum thickness-to-chord ratios defined by a difference between the maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at the first spanwise position and a maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at a second spanwise position, a third decrease of the maximum thickness-to-chord ratios defined by a difference between the maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at the second spanwise position and a maximum thickness-to-chord ratio at the tip, the second decrease being greater than the corresponding first and third decreases.

    摘要: An aircraft engine, has: an upstream stator having upstream stator vanes distributed about a central axis; and a downstream stator having downstream stator vanes distributed about the central axis, the downstream stator located downstream of the upstream stator, a number of the upstream stator vanes different than a number of the downstream stator vanes, the downstream stator vanes including: a first vane, a major portion of a leading edge of the first vane circumferentially overlapped by one of the upstream stator vanes; and a second vane differing from the first vane by a geometric parameter, the geometric parameter causing the second vane to have one or more of: a stiffness greater than that of the first vane, and a major portion of a leading edge of the second vane circumferentially overlapped by another one of the upstream stator vanes.
