    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine defining a radial direction, a longitudinal direction, and a circumferential direction, an upstream end and a downstream end along the longitudinal direction, and an axial centerline extended along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine includes a fan assembly including a plurality of fan blades rotatably coupled to a fan rotor in which the fan blades define a maximum fan diameter and a fan pressure ratio. The gas turbine engine further includes a low pressure (LP) turbine defining a core flowpath therethrough generally along the longitudinal direction. The core flowpath defines a maximum outer flowpath diameter relative to the axial centerline. The gas turbine engine defines a fan to turbine diameter ratio of the maximum fan diameter to the maximum outer flowpath diameter. The fan to turbine diameter ratio over the fan pressure ratio is approximately 0.90 or greater.

    摘要: A turbine assembly including a first rotor assembly with a rotatable outer drum from which one or more stages of a plurality of outer drum airfoils is extended radially inward is provided. An outer casing surrounds the outer drum of the first rotor assembly. A seal assembly is coupled to the outer casing and positioned radially outward from an upstream-most stage of the plurality of outer drum airfoils. The seal assembly is positioned in axial alignment with the upstream-most stage of the plurality of outer drum airfoils. The seal assembly separates a first plenum from a second plenum. The second plenum is formed axially aft of the first plenum and is formed by the seal assembly, the outer casing, and the outer drum of the first rotor assembly. The first plenum is positioned radially outward from the upstream-most stage of the plurality of outer drum airfoils.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a rotor thrust balanced turbine engine that may increase engine performance and efficiency while managing thrust mismatch or imbalance in a low pressure (LP) spool between a fan assembly and a turbine rotor assembly. The gas turbine engine defines a radial direction, a longitudinal direction, and a circumferential direction, an upstream end and a downstream end along the longitudinal direction, and an axial centerline extended along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine includes a turbine rotor assembly and a turbine frame. The turbine rotor assembly defines a first flowpath radius and a second flowpath radius each extended from the axial centerline. The first flowpath radius is disposed at the upstream end of the turbine rotor assembly, and wherein the second flowpath radius is disposed at the downstream end of the turbine rotor assembly. The turbine frame and the turbine rotor assembly together define a seal interface radius inward of the turbine rotor assembly along the radial direction and concentric to the axial centerline, and wherein the turbine rotor assembly defines a ratio of the first flowpath radius to the seal interface radius less than or equal to approximately 1.79.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine defines a radial direction and an axial centerline. The gas turbine engine includes a core turbine engine that defines a core inlet. The core inlet is oriented with respect to the axial centerline and positioned along the radial direction such that the area available to capture foreign object debris is minimized. In one aspect, the gas turbine engine defines a capture ratio less than about 35%, wherein the capture ratio is a ratio of an area between a splitter radius and a tangency radius to an area encompassed by the splitter radius. The splitter radius is defined as a radial distance between the axial centerline and an outer lip of a splitter of the core turbine engine. The tangency radius is defined as a radial distance between the axial centerline and a tangency point, which can be defined at an inner lip of the core inlet.
