    摘要: A tip turbine engine (10) provides an axial compressor rotor (46) that is counter-rotated relative to a fan (24). A planetary gearset (90) couples rotation of a fan (46) to an axial compressor rotor (46), such that the axial compressor rotor (46) is driven by rotation of the fan in a rotational direction opposite that of the fan. By counter-rotating the axial compressor rotor, a final stage of compressor vanes (54) between the final stage of compressor blades (52) and inlets (66) to the hollow fan blades (28) of the fan are eliminated. As a result, the length of the axial compressor (22) and the overall length of the tip turbine engine (10) are decreased.

    摘要: Improved annular components and improved methods for assembling annular components into a turbine engine are described with respect to an axial compressor having a plurality of annular compressor rotor airfoil assemblies (120) as an example. Each compressor rotor airfoil assembly comprises an annular rotor portion (122), a spacer portion (124) extending axially therefrom and a plurality of airfoils (52) extending radially thereform. The plurality of airfoils may be integrally formed with the annular portion. The compressor rotor airfoil assemblies are stacked sequentially on a center-tie (134) or outer circumferential tie. The spacer portion of one compressor rotor airfoil assembly (120a) abuts the annular rotor portion of the adjacent compressor rotor airfoil assembly (120b) to retain one another on the center-tied outer circumferential tie. By stacking the compressor rotor airfoil assemblies sequentially and then retaining them, the typical split cases, flanges and rotor bolts may be eliminated.

    摘要: A non-metallic tailcone (202) in a tip turbine engine includes a tapered wall structure disposed (208) about a central axis. The non-metallic tailcone is fastened to a structural frame (44) in the aft portion of the tip turbine engine. The tip turbine engine produces a first temperature gas stream from a first output source and a second temperature gas stream from a second output source. The second temperature gas stream is a lower temperature than the first temperature gas stream. The second temperature gas stream is discharged at an inner diameter of the tip turbine engine over an outer surface of the tailcone. Discharging the cooler second temperature gas stream at the inner diameter allows a non-metallic to be used to form the tailcone.

    摘要: A tip turbine engine (10) and a method of operating the engine provides increased efficiency while eliminating or reducing the number of axial compressor (122) stages by moving the core airflow inlet (27) aft of the fan (24). As a result, the core airflow entering the core airflow inlet is the fan exhaust, which is already at an increased pressure. A portion of the fan exhaust is guided radially inward, then axially forward and then radially outward through compressor chambers (72) in the hollow fan blades (28) for further, centrifugal compression.
