    Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a compression system blade ratio defined as the ratio of the height of a fan blade to the height of the most downstream compressor blade in the range of from 45 to 95. This results in an optimum balance between installation benefits, operability, maintenance requirements and engine efficiency when the gas turbine engine is installed on an aircraft.

    Abstract: There is provided a dynamic sealing assembly for a rotary machine, comprising a primary sandwich plate, a secondary sandwich plate and a bristle pack. The primary sandwich plate comprises a plurality of primary vane openings, and the secondary sandwich plate comprises a plurality of secondary vane openings. The bristle pack comprises a plurality of bristles and is disposed between the primary sandwich plate and the secondary sandwich plate. Each of the plurality of primary vane openings overlies and aligns with a respective secondary vane opening to form a vane channel for receiving a vane along a longitudinal axis of the dynamic sealing assembly. The bristle pack is configured to: provide a brush seal between each vane received within the respective vane channels and the dynamic sealing assembly; and allow relative movement between the dynamic sealing assembly and the vane received within each vane channel along the longitudinal axis.

    Abstract: An air intake guide for a jet propulsion power plant for a supersonic aircraft comprises an intake aperture, an intake center body and an intake adjustment device. The intake aperture has an intake lip, an intake center body is positioned within the aperture, and an intake adjustment device is positioned on a radially inwardly facing surface of the air intake guide downstream of the intake lip. The intake adjustment device comprises a flexible panel and an actuator with the actuator being adapted to deflect the flexible panel in a radially inwardly direction so as to reduce a cross-sectional area of the intake aperture and thereby to position a shock wave at the intake lip.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine (10) having an axial flow direction (X) therethrough in use. The gas turbine engine (10) comprises one or more rotor stages each comprising at least one rotor blade (120) having a root portion (122). The gas turbine engine (10) comprises a shroud (122) located upstream of one or more of the rotor stages relative to the axial flow direction (X). The shroud (122) defines a through passageway (128) extending between an inlet (130) and an outlet (132) which comprises a diffuser region (138). The diffuser region (138) is configured to reduce the axial velocity of air exiting the outlet (132) relative to air entering the diffuser portion (138) in use, wherein the outlet (132) is located such that air exiting the outlet (132) is directed substantially to the root portion (122) only of the rotor blades (120).

    Abstract: A compressor variable angle measurement system for guiding the positioning variable vanes supported on a penny of a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The system comprising a gauge assembly that is connectable to a computing device. the gauge assembly comprises a base plate and a clamp arm. The gauge assembly is configured to removably grip a variable vane between three vane contact portions of the baseplate and the vane contact portion of the clamp arm and on the leading edge vane engaging portion and the trailing edge vane engaging portion of the base plate, the stagger angle of the variable vane with respect to the radial setting pin being determined by the computing device from measurements made by an inertial measurement unit.
