    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a propulsor section including a propulsor having blades extending from a propulsor hub, and a propulsor shaft that drives the propulsor hub. A compressor section includes a first compressor having a rotatable compressor hub. A speed reduction device drives the compressor hub and the propulsor through a connection established axially forward of the epicyclic gear system relative to an engine longitudinal axis. The epicyclic gear system is straddled by forward and aft bearings that engage a carrier of the speed reduction device.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a case having a wall that provides a manifold cavity, the wall including an aperture and a bore; a tube assembly with a flange that provides a fluid passage aligned with the aperture; a mixing feature arranged in the manifold cavity and including a plate with a hole; and an insert having a body and a head, the body received in the hole and sealed in the bore, the head capturing the plate against the wall. The mixing feature is configured to divert a flow of cooling fluid in at least a counterclockwise direction improving jet mixing and placement of the cooling fluid.

    Abstract: A combustor cylinder includes a cylinder, and a fuel nozzle capable of injecting fuel into a combustion space of the cylinder. The cylinder has a plurality of cooling passages allowing cooling air to circulate therethrough, and a nozzle attachment penetration hole penetrating the cylinder from an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder to an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder. The fuel nozzle has a mixing passage, a fuel passage communicating with the mixing passage and capable of supplying the fuel to the inside of the mixing passage, and a connection passage communicating with the mixing passage and capable of supplying cooling air from a part of the plurality of cooling passages to the inside of the mixing passage. A position in the mixing passage communicating with the connection passage is on a side where a spout port of the mixing passage is present from a position where the mixing passage communicates with the fuel passage.

    Abstract: An assembly for rotational equipment includes a shaft, a first rolling-element bearing, a second rolling-element bearing, and a mid-shaft foil bearing. The shaft extends along a rotational axis between and to a first axial end and a second axial end. The shaft is configured for rotation about the rotational axis. The first rolling-element bearing is disposed at the first axial end. The second rolling-element bearing is disposed at the second axial end. The mid-shaft foil bearing is disposed axially between the first rolling-element bearing and the second rolling-element bearing.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided having: a turbomachine; a fan section having a fan rotatable by the turbomachine; a nacelle enclosing the fan; and an engine controller positioned within the nacelle. The nacelle defines an inner surface radius (r) along the radial direction inward of the engine controller, wherein the engine controller defines a radial height (Δr) along the radial direction, a total volume (V), and a normalized radius (r′). The normalized radius (r′) is a ratio of the inner surface radius (r) to the total volume (V) to cube root, and wherein these parameters are related by the following equation: 0.1(r′)−1

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a propulsor section including a propulsor, a core engine, a gear arrangement that drives the propulsor. A compressor section includes a low pressure compressor and a high pressure compressor. A turbine section includes a high pressure turbine and a low pressure turbine. An overall pressure ratio is provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the low pressure compressor and a pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor, and greater than 40. The pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor is between 7 and 15, and the pressure ratio across the low pressure compressor is between 4 and 8.
