摘要: A component of a gas turbine engine includes a continuous hoop portion extending at least partially around an engine central longitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine and a bolting feature extending from the hoop portion, configured for securing the component to an adjacent component. The bolting feature includes a circumferential arm extending radially and circumferentially from the hoop portion. The circumferential arm defines a radial gap between the circumferential arm and the hoop portion. The circumferential arm includes a bolt opening for installation of a bolt therethrough. A connecting leg extends radially from the hoop portion across the radial gap toward the connecting arm. An arm interlocking feature is located at the circumferential arm and is configured to radially interlock with a complementary leg interlocking feature of the connecting leg. The arm interlocking feature and the leg interlocking feature have a radial interconnect gap therebetween in a free state.

摘要: Embodiments of systems and methods for air recovery are disclosed. The diverted pressurized air may be used to supply a hydrostatic purge to the unutilized portion of a turbine engine fuel manifold circuit to ensure that exhaust gases from the utilized side of the fuel manifold circuit do not enter the portion of the alternative fuel manifold circuit rack. The assembly used to remove compressor section pressurized air may include a flow control orifice, line pressure measuring instrumentation, non-return valves, isolation valves and hard stainless-steel tubing assemblies. In some embodiments, a turbine compressor section diverter system may include a small air receiver used to increase the volume of air supplying the manifold to aid in potential pressure and flow disruptions from a turbine engine compressor section.

摘要: An injector for a liquid rocket engine includes an array of injector elements. Each injector element includes a central passage and a plurality of peripheral transverse passages. The central passages are configured to provide axial injection flow and the peripheral transverse passages are configured to provide swirl injection flow about the axial injection flow. A portion of the injector elements are configured to provide the swirl injection flow in a clockwise direction and another portion of the injector elements are configured to provide the swirl injection flow in a counter-clockwise direction. The injector elements are arranged to form a plurality of circumferential rows. The injector elements of each individual circumferential row are either all of the clockwise direction or all of the counter-clockwise direction. At least one of the circumferential rows is of the clockwise direction and at least one of the circumferential rows is of the counter-clockwise direction.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a fan with a plurality of fan blades rotatable about an engine centerline longitudinal axis. The fan has a low corrected fan tip speed less than 1400 ft/sec. A bypass ratio is greater than 13 and less than 20. A fan pressure ratio less than 1.48. A speed reduction device comprises a gear system with a gear ratio of at least 2.6 and less than or equal to 4.1. A low and high pressure turbine is in communication with a first and second shaft, respectively. The low pressure turbine includes at least three stages and no more than four stages. The high pressure turbine includes two stages. The gear ratio is configured such that in operation the fan blade does not exceed a fan tip speed boundary condition or a second stress level. A low pressure turbine rotor does not exceed a first stress level.

摘要: A thrust reverser unit (TRU) 100 for a gas turbine engine 10 is provided that has first and second cascade elements 110, 120. In a stowed configuration, both the first and second cascade elements, and the operating mechanism, are located inside the nacelle 40, meaning that the TRU has no detrimental impact on the flow through the bypass duct 22. In the deployed configuration, the first cascade element 110 extends across the bypass duct 22. The first cascade element 110 has flow passages 112 that allow the flow to pass through, redirecting the flow towards the second cascade element 120. The second cascade element 120 further turns the flow so as to provide decelerating reverse thrust.
