Abstract:
A turbine rear frame for a gas turbine engine comprises a plurality of struts disposed between an outer ring and an inner ring. The struts can be mounted adjacent to one or more mount surfaces defined within the outer ring. The mount surface can comprise a recess in the outer ring having a maximum radial distance upstream of engine mounts inserted therein. The struts can further comprise a pitch angle offset from a centerline of the mount surface and a tangentially curved trailing edge at a tip to improve aerodynamic performance of the turbine rear frame.
