Abstract: A highly efficient gas turbine engine is provided. The fan of the gas turbine engine is driven from a turbine via a gearbox, such that the fan has a lower rotational speed than the driving turbine, thereby providing efficiency gains. The efficient fan system is mated to a core that has low cooling flow requirements and/or high temperature capability, and which may have particularly low mass for a given power.

Abstract: A turbine arrangement for gas turbine engine, the arrangement comprising a high pressure turbine mounted on a high pressure shaft and a low pressure turbine mounted on a low pressure shaft, wherein the high pressure turbine comprises a single stage turbine rotor configured to rotate in a first direction, and wherein the low pressure turbine comprises three or more rotors (19a, b, c) configured to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The low pressure turbine is closely coupled to the high pressure turbine with no stator vanes provided between the two.

Abstract: A cooled turbine rotor blade for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil and a profiled root radially inward of the airfoil, a platform between the airfoil and the root, and a cooling air supply channel extending through the platform into an interior of the airfoil and therein up to an outlet opening. An inlet opening of the cooling air supply channel is located at the rear side of the rotor blade, and an inlet part of the cooling air supply channel with the inlet opening is angled into the direction of rotation of the rotor blade and curved into a radially outward direction. Further, a rotor-stator stage for a gas turbine includes a rotor blade as above, and an air cavity radially inwards of sealing features between the rotor stage and a neighboring downstream stator stage to form a source of cooling air for the rotor blade.
