摘要: An aircraft propulsion system includes a fan section that includes a fan shaft that is rotatable about a fan axis. The fan shaft includes a fan gear. The aircraft propulsion system also includes a boost turbine engine that includes a first output shaft that includes a first gear that is coupled to the fan gear. The boost turbine engine has a first maximum power capacity. The aircraft propulsion system further includes a cruise gas turbine engine that includes a second output shaft that includes a second gear that is coupled to the fan gear. The cruise turbine engine has a second maximum power capacity that is less than the first maximum power capacity of the boost turbine engine. The fan section produces a thrust that corresponds to power input through the fan gear from the boost turbine engine and the cruise turbine engine.

摘要: An aircraft thermal management system includes a first fluid system containing a first fluid, a fluid loop containing a thermally neutral heat transfer fluid, a second fluid system containing a second fluid, a first heat exchanger configured to transfer heat from the first fluid to the thermally neutral heat transfer fluid, and a second heat exchanger configured to transfer heat from the thermally neutral heat transfer fluid to the second fluid. The fluid loop is configured to provide the thermally neutral heat transfer fluid to the first heat exchanger at a pressure that matches the pressure of the first fluid.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a gear system that provides a speed reduction between a fan drive turbine and a fan rotor. Aspects of the gear system are provided with some flexibility. The fan drive turbine has a first exit area and rotates at a first speed. A second turbine section has a second exit area and rotates at a second speed, which is faster than said first speed. A performance quantity can be defined for both turbine sections as the products of the respective areas and respective speeds squared. A performance quantity ratio of the performance quantity for the fan drive turbine to the performance quantity for the second turbine section is relatively high.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan section, a core engine, a bypass passage, and a bypass ratio defined as the volume of air passing into the bypass passage compared to the volume of air passing into the core engine, the bypass ratio being greater than or equal to about 8 at cruise power. A gear arrangement is configured to drive the fan section. A compressor section includes both a first compressor section and a second compressor section. A turbine section is configured to drive the gear arrangement, and may have a low pressure turbine with four stages and a low pressure turbine pressure ratio greater than about 5:1, and a high pressure turbine with two stages. An overall pressure ratio is provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the first compressor section and a pressure ratio across the second compressor section, and greater than about 40, measured at sea level and at a static, full-rated takeoff power. The pressure ratio across the second compressor section is greater than about 7.

摘要: A method for mounting a gas turbine engine having a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section, a pylon and a rear mount bracket, includes positioning the mounting bracket between the gas turbine engine and the pylon. The mounting bracket is connected to the turbine case reacting a least a vertical load, a side load, a thrust load, and a torque load from the gas turbine engine through the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is attached to the pylon reacting the same loads from the gas turbine engine.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a core engine including a central engine axis and a nacelle surrounding the core engine. At least a portion of the nacelle is axially movable relative to the core engine between open and fully closed positions. A ceramic-based liner is located at an aft portion of the core engine. The ceramic-based component mechanically interfaces with the movable portion of the nacelle when the nacelle is in the fully closed position. A turbine section and a method of accommodating thermally-induced dimensional change of engine components are also disclosed.

摘要: A turbofan engine assembly includes a nacelle and a turbofan engine. The turbofan engine includes a fan, which includes a fan rotor having fan blades, and a nacelle enclosing the fan rotor and the blades. A turbine rotor drives the fan rotor. An epicyclic gear reduction is positioned between the fan rotor and the turbine rotor. The epicyclic gear reduction includes a ring gear, a sun gear, and four intermediate gears that engage the sun gear and the ring gear. A gear ratio of the gear reduction is greater than 3.06. The fan drive turbine drives the sun gear to, in turn, drive the fan rotor.

摘要: A boundary layer ingestion engine includes a gas generator, a turbine fluidly connected to the gas generator, and a fan mechanically linked to the turbine via at least one shaft. The linkage is configured such that rotation of the turbine is translated to the fan. The boundary layer ingestion engine further includes an exhaust duct fluidly connected to an outlet of the turbine. The exhaust duct is positioned radially inward of the fan.
