Abstract:
A component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a shell defining an interior, a spar extending into the interior and a first flange attached to the spar. The spar is configured to pivot to change a positioning of the shell.
Abstract:
One exemplary embodiment of this disclosure relates to a gas turbine engine including an engine case, a retention block attached to the engine case, and a blade outer air seal (BOAS). The BOAS includes a plurality of layers formed of a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material. At least one of the plurality of layers provides a slot receiving a portion of the retention block.
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:
One exemplary embodiment of this disclosure relates to a gas turbine engine including a plate, a frame attached to the plate, and a panel. The panel is supported by the frame.
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:
A blade outer air seal system for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of ring carriers made of a first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion. A plurality of seal segments are carried, respectively, on the plurality of ring carriers. A ring member is carried in the plurality of ring carriers. The ring member is made of a second material that is different from the first material in composition. The second material has a second coefficient of thermal expansion such that the first coefficient of thermal expansion is 75-175% of the second coefficient of thermal expansion.
