    摘要: A turbofan engine (300; 600; 700) comprising a fan shaft (120) configured to rotate about an axis (500) of the engine. A fan drive gear system (60) is configured to drive the fan shaft. The fan drive gear system has a centerplane (540). A first spool comprises a high pressure turbine (326) and a high pressure compressor (324). A second spool comprises an intermediate pressure turbine (328), a lower pressure compressor, and a shaft (334) coupling the lower pressure turbine to the intermediate pressure compressor. A third spool comprises a lower pressure turbine (330) coupled to the fan drive gear system to drive the fan. The engine has a plurality of main bearings. The turbofan engine has a single stage fan. Of the main bearings, at least one is a shaft engaging bearing engaging a driving shaft (336) coupled to the fan drive gear system. A closest (340; 640) of the shaft engaging bearings engaging the driving shaft behind the fan drive gear system has a centerplane (550) and a characteristic radius (R B ). The half angle (θ) of a virtual cone (530) intersecting the core flowpath inboard boundary at the gear system centerplane (540) and said closest of the shaft engaging bearings at the characteristic radius (R B ) is greater than about 32°. A hub to tip ratio (H R :F R ) of the fan is less than about 0.38.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine has a fan rotor, a first compressor rotor and a second compressor rotor. The second compressor rotor compresses air to a higher pressure than the first compressor rotor. A first turbine rotor drives the second compressor rotor and a second turbine rotor. The second turbine drives the compressor rotor. A fan drive turbine is positioned downstream of the second turbine rotor. The fan drive turbine drives the fan through a gear reduction. The first compressor rotor and second turbine rotor rotate as an intermediate speed spool. The second compressor rotor and first turbine rotor together as a high speed spool. The high speed spool and the fan drive turbine configured to rotate in the same first direction. The intermediate speed spool rotates in an opposed, second direction.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine having an engine axis and method of manufacturing the same is disclosed. The gas turbine engine may comprise a fan configured to drive air, a low pressure compressor section having a core flow path and configured to draw in and compress air flowing along the core flow path, a spool configured to drive the fan, and geared architecture configured to adjust the fan speed. The gas turbine engine may also include a housing defining a compartment that encloses the geared architecture. The housing is disposed between the core flow path and the axis, and includes a shielded mid-section that is in thermal communication with the core flow path of the low pressure compressor section. The shielded mid-section includes an outer layer and an insulator adjacent to the outer layer.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine turbine has a high pressure turbine configured to rotate with a high pressure compressor as a high pressure spool in a first direction about a central axis and a low pressure turbine configured to rotate with a low pressure compressor as a low pressure spool in the first direction about the central axis. A power density is greater than or equal to about 1.5 and less than or equal to about 5.5 lbf/cubic inches. A fan is connected to the low pressure spool via a speed changing mechanism and rotates in a second direction opposed to the first direction.
