    摘要: An assembly method is provided during which a first component is arranged with a second component. The first component is secured to the second component using a fastener assembly. The fastener assembly includes a fastener element and a washer. The fastener element includes a wrenching feature. The washer has a full-hoop annular body with a cylindrical outer surface. The securing includes: mating a socket device with the fastener element and the washer, the socket device engaging the wrenching feature and the cylindrical outer surface; and rotating the fastener element about an axis using the socket device to tighten the fastener assembly and clamp the washer axially between the first component and the fastener element. The socket device centers the washer to the fastener element during the rotating.

    摘要: A stationary blade unit including a first engaging portion projecting from an outer tube toward a first side in an axial direction; and a second engaging portion projecting from the outer tube toward a second side in the axial direction. A first outer shell includes a first flange and a first engaged portion into which the first engaging portion is slidingly inserted in the axial direction. A second outer shell includes: a second flange fastened to the first flange by a fastener; and a second engaged portion into which the second engaging portion is slidingly inserted in the axial direction. The stationary blade unit includes a projection projecting outward in a radial direction from the outer tube. One of the first outer shell and the second outer shell includes an integrated stopper arranged on a rotation trajectory of the projection around an axis.

    摘要: A valve for an air system in an aircraft engine, comprising: a housing defining a chamber having a valve axis; a body within the chamber about a piston axis collinear with the valve axis, extending from a first surface to a second surface, defining a bore extending from the first to the second surface, having a mating connector defined by the second surface and located radially outward of the bore relative to the piston axis; and a sleeve extending from a first end matingly engaged with the mating connector to a second end along a sleeve axis collinear with the valve axis, the first end axially stacked on the body via the first surface to define a first distance between the first end and the first surface, and via the second surface to define a second distance between the first end and the second surface greater than the first distance.

    摘要: A liner support system for an exhaust liner in an aircraft engine. The liner support system includes a plurality of posts that space the exhaust liner from the exhaust duct, the plurality of posts spacing the exhaust liner from the exhaust duct further supporting the exhaust liner. Each post includes an interface region adjacent to the back side of the exhaust liner sealed to the back side of the exhaust liner, a shank extending to a low pressure region, and a hollow passageway internal to the shank, providing fluid communication between the interface region and the low pressure region. The low pressure region results in pressure against the liner, pulling the liner adjacent the post interface region against the post while preventing fluid leakage between the exhaust liner and the interface region. The posts create a pattern of alternating pressures in the liner allowing for elimination of hangers.

    摘要: A nozzle comprises a combustion chamber having a downstream end and a divergent formed of a cone-shaped wall extending between an upstream end and a downstream end. The upstream end of the divergent is connected to the downstream end of the combustion chamber by an intermediate ring having an upstream flange fixed on a fixing flange secured to the combustion chamber and a downstream flange connected to the upstream end of the divergent. The intermediate ring having an inner channel present between the upstream and downstream flanges of the intermediate ring. A material able to take heat from the ring is present in the inner channel.
