Abstract: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes a tower shaft rotatable about an axis, an engine component rotatable with the tower shaft about the axis, and a seal assembly. The engine component extends axially along the axis to an end surface. The seal assembly includes a carbon seal element, where the carbon seal element circumscribes the tower shaft and axially engages the end surface.

Abstract: A turbofan engine is disclosed that includes a fan rotatable about an axis, a compressor section including a high pressure compressor, a medium pressure compressor and a low pressure compressor and a turbine section including a high pressure turbine, an intermediate turbine and a fan drive turbine. A fan drive gear system is driven by the fan drive turbine for driving the fan. A compressor drive gear system is driven by the intermediate turbine for driving the low pressure compressor. A gear controller controls rotation of at least one of the fan drive gear system and the compressor drive gear system relative to a static structure to vary an effective speed reduction ratio of one of the fan drive gear system and the compressor drive gear system.

Abstract: A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine, may be manufactured in two pieces, the first piece is a seal plate with a cavity around its inner wall and the second piece is a sleeve that mounts in the cavity of the seal plate. The sleeve may have oil distribution channels that deliver oil to subsequent components and apertures that deliver oil to the seal plate. The volume of oil delivered to the seal plate can be set by the number of apertures and related radial holes in the sleeve. Because the sleeve delivers oil through the apertures and radial holes to an annulus in the cavity of the seal plate, cooling bores in the seal plate need only be drilled into the annulus and the number of cooling bores can be independent of the number of radial holes in the sleeve.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a rotating shaft. An oil scoop rotates with the rotating shaft. The oil scoop has end walls spaced axially along an axis of rotation of the rotating shaft and an axially central recess. A duct is spaced radially outwardly of the oil scoop. The duct has an oil inlet, with an oil supply nozzle to supply oil into the oil inlet in the duct. The oil inlet is then connected to supply oil into the recess. The oil scoop has an inner hole to allow oil to flow from the recess to an outer periphery of the shaft.
