Tracks (35), fastened to static structure of an aircraft engine nozzle, guide sliders (32) journaled in struts (27, 28) fastened to a flap (23) of the nozzle. Each slider and attached journal axle or bolt (33) is formed of cobalt, and each track slider surface (61) and journal bushings (43, 44) are formed of a nickel alloy to reduce wear from rubbing. Track slides (40, 41) are mounted to the static structure of the nozzle by blind bolts (68) having a tool recess (70) at its threaded tip to prevent the bolt (68) from turning as a nut is secured. Each slider has limited rotation due to a pin (102), thereon engaging a slot in a tab (100) of the bushing (43) to assist in inserting the slider (32) into the beveled ends of the tracks (35, 36), when mounting or replacing a flap.

A vane arm assembly for a gas turbine engine. The vane arm assembly includes a vane arm defining an aperture at an end thereof with an aperture wall. The vane arm assembly also includes a vane stem extending through the aperture of the vane arm. The vane arm assembly further includes a mechanical fastener retaining a position of the vane arm in the longitudinal direction of the vane stem. The vane arm assembly yet further includes an impedance ring disposed within the aperture of the vane arm and within an impedance ring groove defined by the vane stem to provide redundant position retention of the vane arm in the longitudinal direction of the vane stem.

A rotor system for a gas turbine engine may comprise a shrouded blade assembly. The shrouded blade assembly may include a blade configured to rotate about a central longitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine, an inner diameter shroud located at a proximal end of the blade, and a blade tip shroud located at a distal end of the blade. A radial seal assembly may be located radially outward of a distal surface of the blade tip shroud.
