    Abstract: A turbine stage includes a row of airfoils joined to corresponding platforms to define flow passages therebetween. Each airfoil includes opposite pressure and suction sides and extends in chord between opposite leading and trailing edges. Each platform has a contoured flow surface including a purge valley, an elevated bulge and a bowl. The purge valley has a maximum depth at an elevation equal to or greater than a nominal axisymmetric platform surface of the corresponding platform. The purge valley extending tangentially against a purge cavity wall and into the blend area and extending axially from proximate the leading edge of a first airfoil toward the suction side of the first airfoil, and toward the leading edge of a second adjacent airfoil to channel a purge flow. The elevated bulge adjoins the pressure side aft of the leading edge and the bowl adjoins the suction side aft of the leading edge.

    Abstract: A gas lift valve assembly includes a housing, a check valve, and a fluid flow barrier. The housing defines an inlet port, an outlet port, and a main flow passage providing fluid communication between the inlet port and the outlet port. The main flow passage has an upstream end and a downstream end. The check valve includes a sealing element disposed at the downstream end of the main flow passage, and a valve member configured to sealingly engage the sealing element. The valve member is movable between an open position in which fluid flow is permitted in a downstream direction, and a closed position in which the valve member inhibits fluid flow in an upstream direction. The fluid flow barrier is disposed within the main flow passage, and is configured to direct fluid flow away from the sealing element when the valve member is in the open position.

    Abstract: An engine strut for providing fan hub frame structural support and monitoring an air flow within an aircraft engine includes an airfoil coupled to the aircraft engine and has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is positioned upstream of the second portion with respect to the air flow. A shield is coupled to the engine and positioned between the first portion and the second portion. The shield includes a first side spaced from the first portion and defining a first flow path with the first portion. The shield further includes a second side spaced from the second portion and defining a second flow path with the second portion. At least one sensor is coupled to the aircraft engine and positioned in flow communication with the second flow path.

    Abstract: An engine for mounting in or to an aircraft includes a stage of compression airfoils rotatable about a central axis; a casing surrounding the stage of compression airfoils and defining an inlet; and a low-distortion inlet assembly mounted within the inlet. The inlet assembly includes one or more structural members mounted at predetermined locations around a circumference of the central axis within the inlet, the predetermined locations defining an airflow distortion exceeding a predetermined threshold; and at least one airflow modifying element configured within the inlet so as to reduce airflow distortion entering the stage of compression airfoils.
