Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a gas turbine engine shaft, having an outer circumferential surface that circumscribes a central axis. The gas turbine engine shaft may comprise a plurality of splines extending along a portion of the outer circumferential surface, where each of the plurality of splines comprises an axial face that tapers from the outer circumferential surface to a spline top surface and includes a curved chamfered surface at a radially distal end of the axial face. The plurality of splines may further comprise a first sidewall and a second sidewall separated by a first spline width distance along the outer circumferential surface, where the first and second sidewalls taper inwardly from the outer circumferential surface to a second spline width along the spline top surface where the second spline width distance is less than the first spline width distance.

Abstract: A spacer of a gas turbine engine is reinforced with a fiber. The fiber can be cured with a substrate to form a fiber reinforced composite material. As a gas turbine engine operates, the rotation creates forces which can deform, expand, contract or translate certain gas turbine engine components, including spacers. These forces can adversely affect gas turbine engine performance and reliability, particularly when they are either unpredictable or difficult to control. Reinforcing a spacer with a fiber may allow a lower system weight, more compact or configurable internal packaging or a high degree of reinforcement.

Abstract: A structurally-reinforced rotor disk for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The rotor disk may comprise a body including a rim configured to support airfoils (which may be separate or integral with the airfoils), an axially-extending bore disposed radially inward of the rim, and a radially-extending web connecting the rim and the bore. The bore may include an axial outer edge and at least one circumferentially-extending annular recess formed axially between the outer edge and the web. The rotor disk may further comprise an annular ring retained in the annular recess, and the annular ring may be formed from a different material than the body of the rotor disk so as to increase a self-sustaining radius of the rotor disk.

Abstract: An example method of cooling a compressor section of a gas turbine engine includes diverting a flow from a compressor through a heat exchanger, the flow moving from the compressor in a first direction, and moving the flow from the heat exchanger back to the compressor in a second direction. An example spacer for a compressor of a gas turbine engine includes a first side portion, a second side portion spaced apart from the first side portion, and a middle web arranged between the first and second side portions. At least one of the first and second side portions and the middle web include at least one orifice to communicate flow in a direction that is different from a core flowpath flow direction. An example compressor including the spacer is also disclosed.
