Abstract: An aircraft engine includes a rotating structure and a casing circumferentially surrounding the rotating structure. The aircraft engine further includes an acoustic panel for noise reduction circumferentially surrounding the rotating structure. The acoustic panel is disposed proximal the casing. Furthermore, the acoustic panel includes a plurality of acoustic panel members. In addition, the acoustic panel is secured to the casing by at least one securement mechanism such that the acoustic panel is substantially circumferentially fixed relative to the casing.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a liner system for a turbine engine. The liner system includes a fan track liner panel that is positionable axially within a casing that is arranged around a rotatable fan and that forms a blade containment zone. The fan track liner panel is further positionable radially outward of the rotatable fan. The fan track liner panel includes a body that extends a length of the fan track liner panel from a fore portion of the fan track liner panel to an aft portion of the fan track liner panel. The fan track liner panel is configured to be directly secured to the casing by a fastener that extends through only part of the body and entirely through the casing within the blade containment zone such that the aft portion of the fan track liner panel abuts an interior surface of the casing.

Abstract: According to one aspect, an apparatus includes a first member that has a first aperture and a second member adjacent to the first member and having a second aperture extending between opposed first and second faces of the second member and aligned with the first aperture to define a combined aperture that has a longitudinal extent. The second aperture is defined by a surface that has a portion having an extent transverse to the longitudinal extent. The apparatus further includes at least a portion of a fastener disposed in the combined aperture. The fastener has a first end proximal the first member and a second end proximal the second member and includes a first retaining member in contact with the first member, a second retaining member in interfering relationship with the portion, and a third retaining member in contact with the second face.

Abstract: An aircraft engine includes a rotating structure and a casing circumferentially surrounding the rotating structure. The aircraft engine further includes an acoustic panel for noise reduction circumferentially surrounding the rotating structure and disposed adjacent the casing. The acoustic panel comprises a plurality of acoustic panel members arranged adjacent to one another to form a substantially complete ring of the acoustic panel. A first acoustic panel member of the plurality of acoustic members is adjacent to a second acoustic panel member of the plurality of acoustic members. The first acoustic panel member is removably secured to the second acoustic panel member by a releasable fastening assembly.
