    Abstract: A turbine component comprises a platform and an airfoil extending radially away from the platform and extending from a leading edge to a trailing edge. A leading edge portion defines the leading edge of the airfoil and a trailing edge portion including the trailing edge. One of the leading and trailing edge portions also includes the platform. The leading edge portion is formed of a first material distinct from a second material forming the trailing edge portion. The first material has an operating temperature capability at least 100F higher than that of the second material. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A variable-pitch vane system for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of vanes and a synchronization ring assembly operably connected to the plurality of vanes. The synchronization ring assembly includes a first synchronization ring, a second synchronization ring and a bridge bracket connecting the first synchronization ring to the second synchronization ring. The bridge bracket includes a first face sheet, a second face sheet, a honeycomb core located between the first face sheet and the second face sheet, a first attachment feature located at a first end of the bridge bracket at which the first synchronization ring is secured, and a second attachment feature located at a second end of the bridge bracket at which the second synchronization ring is secured.

    Abstract: An exhaust nozzle for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a duct having a first surface and a second surface extending about a duct axis to define an exhaust flow path, and at least one effector positioned along the first surface. The at least one effector is pivotable about an effector axis to vary a throat area of the exhaust flow path. The at least one effector tapers along the effector axis. A method of exhaust control for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for forming a metallic structure having multiple layers includes providing a main tool having a main formation surface corresponding to a desired shape of a first layer of material. The method also includes depositing the first layer of material on the main formation surface using a cold-spray deposition technique. The method also includes positioning a secondary tool having a secondary formation surface in a portion of a first volume defined by a first surface of the first layer of material. The method also includes depositing a second layer of material on the secondary formation surface using the cold-spray deposition technique. The method also includes removing the secondary tool such that the first volume is positioned between the first layer of material and the second layer of material.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger duct includes a wall having ends spaced along a central axis. An inlet manifold is positioned within a downstream portion of the duct at a radially outward location. An outlet manifold is positioned within an upstream portion of the duct at a radially outward location. At least one of the inlet and outlet manifolds extend at least 10 degrees around the circumference of the duct. A central manifold is disposed between the inlet and outlet manifolds, and radially inwardly of the inlet and outlet manifolds. Heat exchanger entrance elements extend radially inward from the inlet manifold to the central manifold, and heat exchanger exit elements extend radially outward from the central manifold to the outlet manifold. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
