Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a cycle operability parameter β in a defined range to achieve improved overall performance, taking into account fan operability and/or bird strike requirements as well as engine efficiency. The defined range of cycle operability parameter β may be particularly beneficial for gas turbine engines in which the fan is driven by a turbine through a gearbox.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a quasi-non-dimensional mass flow rate in a defined range and a specific thrust in a defined range to achieve improved overall performance, taking into account fan operability and/or bird strike requirements as well as engine efficiency. The defined ranges of quasi-non-dimensional mass flow rate and specific thrust may be particularly beneficial for gas turbine engines in which the fan is driven by a turbine through a gearbox.

Abstract: A joint assembly has first to third end portions of first to third components and an elongate resilient connection member. The first end portion interconnects with the second in a castellated arrangement. The first and second end portions have repeating arrays of first and second, and third and fourth connection portions. The first connection portion is received inward the third, and its first location feature being aligned with a third location feature of the third forming a first cavity portion, and the second connection portion axially distal surface abutting against that of the fourth, with a second location feature of the second connection portion being aligned with a fourth location feature of the fourth connection portion forming a second cavity portion. The first and second cavity portions are aligned forming an annular cavity, with the connection member being receivable within the annular cavity interlocking the first component to the second.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises carbon fibre fan blades. At cruise conditions, the fan tip air angle θ in the range: 64 degrees≤θ≤67 degrees. Additionally or alternatively, the fan blade tip angle β is in the range of from 62 to 69 degrees. Arrangements in accordance with the present disclosure provide advantages which may include improved bird-strike performance. This may allow advantages associated with carbon fibre fan blades to be better exploited.

Abstract: The blade of a fan of a gas turbine engine situated within an intake duct is removed using apparatus including a support structure supporting a cantilevered platform for an operator and a guide rail which is profiled to receive a blade root of the blade. The operator releases the blade and slides it from its recess in the fan disc into a complementary guide channel in the guide rail. The guide rail follows a path which constrains the blade to move in a direction, and at an orientation, which avoids interference with the intake duct.
