Gas turbine engine
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes: an engine case; an engine rotation shaft rotatably supported by the engine case via a bearing member; a first flange extending from the engine case to define a first annular contact surface facing in an axial direction; and a bearing case having an inner end supporting the bearing member and a second flange defining a second annular contact surface that coaxially contacts the first annular contact surface. The second flange is joined to the first flange so as to be movable radially relative to the first flange when applied with a load greater than or equal to a predetermined value in a direction to move the second flange radially relative to the first flange. An outer circumferential edge of one of the first and second flanges is provided with an opposing piece opposing an outer circumferential edge of the other via a radial gap.
