Abstract: A gas turbine engine blade includes a blade portion having a leading edge and a trailing edge. A first surface connects the leading edge to the trailing edge and a second surface connects the leading edge to the trailing edge. A tip section is located at a first end of the blade portion and includes a pocket protruding into the tip section from an outermost end of the tip section. The pocket has a first side wall adjacent the first surface and a second side wall adjacent the second surface. At least one of the first side wall and the second side wall have a curve distinct from a curve of the corresponding adjacent surface.

Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating an active clearance control system for a plurality of turbine engines. During this method, a squeeze test is performed between a tip of a rotor blade and a shroud. Results of the squeeze test are applied to adjust a gap between the tip and the shroud. The performance of the squeeze test and the application of the results may be individually performed for each of the turbine engines.

Abstract: A method of operating a gas turbine engine includes commanding an acceleration of the gas turbine engine and moving a variable pitch high pressure compressor vane toward an open position thereby reducing an acceleration rate of a high pressure turbine rotor thereby reducing a change in a clearance gap between the high pressure turbine rotor and a blade outer airseal. An active clearance control system of a gas turbine engine includes an engine control system configured to command an acceleration of the gas turbine engine and move a variable pitch high pressure compressor vane toward an open position thereby slowing an acceleration rate of a high pressure turbine rotor thereby reducing a change in a clearance gap between the high pressure turbine rotor and a blade outer airseal located radially outboard of the high pressure turbine rotor.

Abstract: A blade outer air seal for a gas turbine engine having a surface that is eccentric with respect to the engine rotation centerline, and a method for creating same, are disclosed. Also, a method for grinding a work piece having nominal curvature defined by a work piece curvature centerline is disclosed, comprising the steps of: a) determining a desired surface profile for the work piece; b) providing a rotating grinding surface having a grinding rotation centerline; c) offsetting the grinding rotation centerline from the work piece curvature centerline; and d) applying the rotating grinding surface to the work piece while rotating the rotating grinding surface about the grinding rotation centerline to create the desired surface profile.

Abstract: A process for machining a turbine engine blade outer air seal in situ, the process comprising replacing a blade with a cutting tool assembly proximate a blade outer air seal, wherein the blade outer air seal is assembled in a gas turbine engine case. The process includes coupling a blower to the blade outer air seal. The blade outer air seal comprises at least one flow path. The process includes creating a purge air stream with the blower through the blade outer air seal. The process includes machining the blade outer air seal, wherein particulate is formed from the machining. The process includes preventing the particulate from blocking the at least one flow path of the blade outer air seal.
