摘要:
A turbine engine particularly suited for VTOL aircraft is disclosed. According to various embodiments, the core of the turbine engine includes two spools—a low pressure (LP) spool and a high pressure (HP) spool—where the LP spool is independently mounted remote to the HP spool. The engine may be modulated for operation by a modulation diverter valve assembly and through the fuel flow to the engine. The power output from the engine can be modulated from high levels to low levels and vice versa through control of the air flow through the engine using the modulation diverter valve assembly. In lift mode operation both the LP and HP spools may be operational, while during the forward flight cruise mode of operation the HP spool is operational and the LP spool may or may not be operational depending upon the power required for the flight condition. For HP spool only operation, the LP spool may be shut down using the modulation diverter valve assembly and an inlet flow diverter valve assembly. The convertible configuration may be achieved by the diverter valving-enabled modulation of the engine airflow direction to produce a characteristic for one embodiment having shaft power output for the vertical lift mode to propulsive thrust output for forward flight mode.

A rotor support includes a first ring disposed around a first axis, a second ring disposed around the first axis downstream from the first ring, and a plurality of beams extending between the first and the second rings. Each beam is configured to provide an axial stiffness, when an axial force is exerted on the first ring, and a radial stiffness, when a radial force is exerted on the first ring. Each beam has a height extending parallel to a second axis and a width extending parallel to a third axis. The beams are distributed around the first ring to provide a substantially uniform circumferential axial stiffness around the rotor support, and the height of each beam is greater than the width of each beam. Damping can be provided by the placement of a damper between the rotor support and the support housing.

A heat transfer arrangement comprises a target member (28 or 30), and an impingement member (32). The impingement member (32) defines a fluid path (38 or 40) there through to direct fluid onto the target member. The arrangement includes a fluid directing formation (42) on the impingement member (32). The fluid path (38 or 40) extends through the fluid directory formation (42) such that the fluid path directs fluid to exit there from at an exit angle that is substantially orthogonal to the fluid directing formation.

An arrangement is proposed for an exhaust gas turbo charger with a carrier housing. The exhaust gas turbo charger is attached to a bearing housing with the carrier housing by way of a fastening element such that the fastening element is oriented in a direction perpendicular to a shaft arranged within the bearing housing.

For improving characteristic uprising at the right-hand side of head-flow rate characteristic of a turbo machine, as well as for suppressing increase of vibration and/or noises thereof, a plurality of first grooves 24 in direction of gradient in pressure of fluid are formed on an inner flow surface of a casing, for connecting an inlet side of blades of an impeller and an area on the inner flow surface of the casing where the impeller blades reside in, over an inner circumference of the casing. Also, second grooves 25 in a circumferential direction are formed in an area on the inner flow surface of the casing where the impeller blades reside in, for communicating the first grooves in the circumferential direction of the casing.

A turbine engine includes a gear driven booster connected to a high pressure shaft of the engine. A gear assembly connects the booster to the high pressure shaft. The booster is a high speed orthogonal booster that includes a plurality of rotor blades and a plurality of stator vanes. The booster rotates in a direction that is opposite to a direction the high pressure shaft rotates.
