    Abstract: A gas turbine engine apparatus includes an engine flowpath, a protuberance and a variable vane. The protuberance projects into the engine flowpath. The variable vane extends across the engine flowpath. The variable vane includes a pivot axis and an airfoil. The variable vane is configured to pivot about the pivot axis between a first position and a second position. The airfoil extends spanwise along a span line between a first end and a second end. The airfoil extends chordwise along a chord line between a leading edge and a trailing edge. A recess extends spanwise into the airfoil from the first end. The airfoil, at the first end, is spaced from the protuberance when the variable vane is in the first position. The airfoil, at the first end, is aligned with the protuberance and the protuberance projects into the recess when the variable vane is in the second position.

    Abstract: A rotor for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of radially extending blades, each having a remote blade tip defining an outer tip surface, and a leading edge defined between opposed pressure and suction side airfoil surfaces. A shroud circumferentially surrounds the rotor, and a radial distance between an inner surface of the shroud and the outer tip surface of the blades defines a radial tip clearance gap therebetween. The tip of each of the blades has a pressure side edge formed at the intersection between the outer tip surface and the pressure side airfoil surface, and a suction side edge formed at the intersection between the outer tip surface and the pressure side airfoil surface. The suction side edge has a larger radius of curvature than the pressure side edge, thereby reducing the amount of tip leakage flow through the radial tip clearance gap.

    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion system includes a bladed rotor configured for rotation about a rotational axis. A rotor blade of the bladed rotor of rotor blades includes a blade body. The blade body has a blade span extending between and to a base end and a tip end. The blade body has a blade chord extending between and to a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade body forms a pressure side surface and a suction side surface. The blade body forms a recess at the pressure side surface. The recess includes a recess surface portion forming a portion of the pressure side surface. The recess surface portion has a recess height. The recess height is greater than or equal to a Y-value of 0.025 for a normalized two-dimensional curve of a surface profile of the recess surface portion taken along a Y-Z plane orthogonal to the rotational axis for a recess span.

    Abstract: An air intake plenum for a gas turbine engine is provided that includes an axial centerline, first and second gas path surfaces, and a plurality of struts. The gas path surfaces are spaced apart from one another and define at least a portion of a plenum interior. The struts extend lengthwise between the gas path surfaces. Each strut has a cross-section geometry. The cross-section geometry has a center, and major and minor axes. The struts are circumferentially spaced apart from one another within the plenum. Each strut is oriented at a clocking angle theta. The clocking angle theta for each respective strut is disposed between the major axis of that strut and a line that intersects the cross-section geometry center of that strut and the axial centerline. At least one strut of the plurality of struts is oriented at a clocking angle theta that is greater than zero.

    Abstract: A diffuser pipe has a tubular body defining a pipe center axis extending therethrough. The tubular body includes a first portion extending in a generally radial direction from an inlet of the tubular body, a second portion extending in a generally axial direction and terminating at a pipe outlet, and a bend portion fluidly linking the first portion and the second portion. The tubular body has a length defined between the inlet and the pipe outlet. The tubular body has cross-sectional profiles defined in a plane normal to the pipe center axis. An area of the cross-sectional profile at the pipe outlet is at least 20% greater than an area of the cross-sectional profile at a point upstream from the pipe outlet a distance corresponding to 10% of the length of the tubular body.

    Abstract: A compressor diffuser for a gas turbine engine is described which includes diffuser pipes having a tubular body defining a pipe center axis extending therethrough. The tubular body includes a first portion extending in a generally radial direction, a second portion extending in a generally axial direction and terminating at a pipe outlet, and a bend portion fluidly linking the first portion and the second portion. A first curved side wall of the tubular body along the second portion is shorter than a second curved side wall of the tubular body along the second portion. The second portion of the tubular body has a cross-sectional profile defined in a plane normal to the pipe center axis. The first curved side wall of the cross-sectional profile has a smaller radius than a radius of the second curved side wall of the cross-sectional profile.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine compressor includes a rotor defining a central axis of rotation and a plurality of blades which project into an annular compressor gas flow passage, and a shroud circumferentially surrounding the rotor and having a radially inner surface adjacent to the blade tips. Bleed holes extend through the shroud adjacent the blade tips, each of the bleed holes having an inlet end disposed in the shroud radially inner surface and an outlet end disposed in a shroud radially outer surface. Bleed air removed from the annular gas flow passage flows through the bleed holes from the inlet to the outlet ends. The outlet end of each bleed hole is located circumferentially upstream of the inlet end relative to a direction of rotational flow in the annular gas flow passage driven by a direction of rotation of the rotor.
