Abstract: A de-icing system for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a forward assembly and a rear assembly adjacent to the forward assembly. One of the forward assembly and the rear assembly is rotatable relative to the other to generate an amount of air friction between said forward and rear assemblies. A method of de-icing a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: An engine case may include a first half and a second half. The first half may have a semiannular geometry with a first flange located at a circumferential edge of the first half. The second half may also have a semiannular geometry. The second half may further include a flange located at a circumferential edge of the first half. The second flange may be aligned with the first flange and mechanically coupled to the first flange. The first flange and the second flange may be configured to substantially align with an engine mounting point. The engine case may also have an annular geometry.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine assembly includes a compressor including a plurality of rotors, where at least one of the plurality of rotors includes a radial inner sealing surface. A rotating shaft drives rotation of the plurality of rotors, where the rotating shaft includes an annular groove proximate the radial inner sealing surface. A seal is disposed within the annular groove, and the seal comprises at least two annular sections forming a complete circumference. Each of the at least two annular sections are separate parts and include a radially-facing sealing surface engaged to the radial inner sealing surface of the rotor and an annular slot disposed radially inward of the radially-facing sealing surface. A retainer is disposed within the annular slot limiting radial expansion of the at least two annular sections.

Abstract: A blade for a gas turbine engine. The blade having: an airfoil formed from a first material; a protective sheath disposed on a leading edge of the airfoil, the protective sheath being formed from a second material, the first material being galvanically incompatible with the second material and the first material being less noble than the second material; a non-conductive material disposed between the protective sheath and the airfoil so that they are electrically isolated from each other; a sacrificial anode in contact with the blade, wherein the sacrificial anode is formed from a third material that is less noble than the first material such that it will corrode before the first material if the non-conductive material disposed between the protective sheath and the airfoil is compromised and the first material and the second material are no longer electrically isolated from each other.
