    摘要: An aircraft fuel system includes a first fuel storage tank arranged to store a first fuel, a second fuel storage tank arranged to store a reduced oxygen fuel, and a fuel tank inerting system arranged to provide a reduced oxygen gas through a fuel contained within the second fuel storage tank to generate the reduced oxygen fuel within the second fuel storage tank. The fuel tank inerting system may include a fuel tank sparging system to inject the reduced oxygen gas directly into the fuel contained within the second fuel storage tank to generate the reduced oxygen fuel.

    摘要: Acoustic turbofan airfoil apparatus are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a platform of a turbofan engine, the platform including perforations to receive acoustic waves, acoustic chambers protruding from a first side of the platform, the acoustic chambers aligned with the perforations in a radial direction defined by the turbofan engine, the acoustic chambers to attenuate the acoustic waves, and an airfoil protruding from a second side of the platform opposite the first side of the platform.

    摘要: A low-pressure (LP) turbine includes an LP shaft, one or more stages of LP turbine stator vanes and LP turbine rotor blades, and one or more interstage seals. The LP turbine rotor blades are coupled to, and rotate with, the LP shaft. The one or more interstage seals are disposed between the one or more stages. The one or more interstage seals each includes a seal disk that extends radially inward of the LP turbine stator vanes. Each seal disk includes an outer shell that supports one or more seal teeth, and the outer shell rotates as the LP shaft rotates.

    摘要: A turbomachine engine includes a fan section having a fan shaft, and a core engine having one or more compressor sections, one or more turbine sections that includes a power turbine, and a combustion chamber in flow communication with the compressor sections and turbine sections. The turbomachine engine includes a low-speed shaft coupled to the power turbine and having a midshaft that extends from a forward bearing to an aft bearing. The low-speed shaft is characterized by a midshaft rating (MSR) between two hundred (ft/sec)1/2 and three hundred (ft/sec)1/2. The low-speed shaft has a redline speed between fifty and two hundred fifty feet per second (ft/sec). The turbomachine engine includes a gearbox assembly that couples the fan shaft to the low-speed shaft and characterized by a gearbox assembly mode less than 95% of a midshaft mode of the midshaft or greater than 105% of the midshaft mode.
