    摘要: Turboprop engines include a housing, a propeller arranged at a forward end of the housing, and a rotor assembly arranged within the housing, the rotor assembly comprising at least one rotor having a plurality of rotor blades. A blade shroud is arranged radially outward from the rotor assembly and positioned relative to the rotor blades such that a tip clearance is defined between tips of the rotor blades and an inner diameter surface of the blade shroud. A shroud cooling duct is defined radially outward from the blade shroud and radially inward from the housing and an air scoop is configured to direct a shroud cooling flow into the shroud cooling duct to pick up heat from the blade shroud and provide cooling thereto.
