Abstract: A hydrostatic advanced low leakage seal configured to be disposed between relatively rotatable components. The seal includes a base. The seal also includes a shoe extending circumferentially. The seal further includes a first beam operatively coupling the shoe to the base, the first beam having a first thickness. The seal yet further includes a second beam operatively coupling the shoe to the base, the second beam having at least a portion thereof with a second thickness that is less than the first thickness.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a body, a driver, a plurality of shafts, and a plurality of arms. The body is configured for insertion into a component and the driver is adapted for movement relative to the body. The plurality of shafts extend through the body and are connected to the plurality of arms. The tool is configured such that contact by the driver against the shaft rotates the plurality of shafts to pivot the plurality of arms.

Abstract: A section of a gas turbine engine includes a rotor blade designed to rotate about an axis. The section also includes a case positioned radially outward from the rotor blade and extending circumferentially about the axis. The section also includes a control ring being annular, positioned radially inward from the case and designed to move radially relative to the case. The section also includes a segmented blade outer air seal (BOAS) including a plurality of BOAS segments each being positioned radially outward from the rotor blade, movably coupled to the control ring, and designed to move circumferentially relative to each other such that a circumferential gap between each of the plurality of BOAS segments changes in size in response to a temperature change in the section of the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an assembly for a gas turbine engine. The assembly may comprise a tierod, a bearing mounting ring, and a joint coupling the tierod to the bearing mounting ring. The joint may be configured to increase a volume of a bearing compartment on an inner surface of the bearing mounting ring. A coefficient of thermal expansion of the bearing mounting ring may be substantially the same as the coefficient of thermal expansion of the tierod.
