Abstract:
A blade outer air seal (BOAS) according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a ceramic body having a radially inner face and a radially outer face and a retention feature that extends from the radially outer face. The retention feature includes at least one angled hook that extends at a transverse angle relative to the radially outer face.
Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes first pressure and suction side layers forming a cavity and terminating in ends near a trailing edge. The first and second suction side layers are constructed from a composite material. A bridge is wrapped about the ends.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a gas turbine engine component, and a method for forming the component. The component includes a first portion, a second portion formed separately from the first portion, and an intermediate layer provided between the first portion and the second portion.
Abstract:
An assembly for a turbine engine includes a plurality of vane segments. The vane segments are fastened together and form an adjustable stator vane that pivots about a variable vane axis. The adjustable stator vane includes a stator vane body, a shaft and a flange. The stator vane body extends axially between a first end and a second end, and includes an airfoil, a body surface and a cavity. The body surface is located at the first end. The cavity extends axially from an inlet in the body surface and into the airfoil. The shaft extends along the variable vane axis from the first end. The flange extends circumferentially at least partially around the inlet, and radially from the stator vane body. A first of the vane segments includes the flange. A second of the vane segments includes at least a portion of the airfoil.
Abstract:
A vane assembly for a gas turbine engine is disclosed and includes a plurality of individual vane segments forming an annular ring. Each of the plurality of vane segments is formed of a ceramic matrix composite including at least one airfoil extending between an inner platform and an outer platform. An outer wrap is disposed about an outer periphery of the annular ring and over an interface between outer platforms of adjacent ones of the plurality of vane segments.
Abstract:
An exemplary weaving method includes placing a first section of a fill fiber between warp fibers, forming a pick, moving a base to reposition the warp fibers, and placing a second section of the fill fiber between the warp fibers.
Abstract:
A hot fairing structure (102) for a pre-diffuser (100) includes a ring-strut-ring structure (118) that comprises a multiple of hollow struts (200), and a multiple of diffusion passage ducts (124) attached to the ring-strut-ring structure (118). A pre-diffuser (100) for a gas turbine engine (20) includes an exit guide vane ring (104) having a multiple of exit guide vanes (108) defined around an engine longitudinal axis (A), a ring-strut-ring structure (118) adjacent to the exit guide vane ring (104) to form a multiple of diffusion passages (120) defined around the engine longitudinal axis (A), an inlet to each of the multiple of diffusion passages (120) smaller than an exit from each of the multiple diffusion passages (120) through the ring-strut-ring structure (118), and a diffusion passage duct (124) attached to the ring-strut-ring structure (118) at the exit from each of the multiple diffusion passages (120).
Abstract:
A hot fairing structure (102) for a pre-diffuser (100) includes a ring-strut-ring structure (118) that comprises a multiple of hollow struts (200) and a multiple of inlets to a respective diffusion passage (120), one of the multiple of inlets formed between each one of the multiple of hollow struts (200) located between two diffusion passages (120).
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a hydrostatic advanced low leakage seal (100) configured to be disposed between relatively rotatable components is provided. The method includes manufacturing a plurality of separate, independent components (180, 182) of the seal. The method also includes assembling the plurality of separate, independent components to form the seal (100).
