Abstract: An aerodynamic component of a gas turbine engine is provided and is fittable to a shell having a shell shape. The aerodynamic component includes a body having a component shape initially deviating from the shell shape prior to an assembly operation in which the aerodynamic component is to be fit to the shell. Deviation of the component shape from the shell shape aids in an establishment of a final desired shape of the aerodynamic component following the assembly operation.

Abstract: A combustor panel may comprise a panel wall comprising a proximal surface and a distal surface. A standoff may be formed over the distal surface of the panel wall. An aperture may be formed through the standoff and may extend from a face of the standoff to the proximal surface of the panel wall. The face of the first standoff may be oriented at an angle between 90 degrees and 160 degrees relative to a plane parallel to the distal surface of the panel wall.

Abstract: A gas-turbine engine is provided comprising a high-pressure turbine, a low-pressure turbine aft of the high-pressure turbine, and a housing around the low-pressure turbine and the high-pressure turbine. A stator may be disposed between the low-pressure turbine and the high-pressure turbine with a boss formed on the stator. A bushing may be retained in the boss with a pin coupled to the housing and partially within the bushing. A method of mounting a full-ring stator is also provided, the method including the steps of inserting a bushing into a boss of the full-ring stator by press fitting, and inserting a pin into the bushing of the full-ring stator.

Abstract: A disc of a gas turbine engine system is provided. The disc includes a disc bore including, an interstage coupling disposed on an axially extending surface at a peripheral edge of the disc bore that includes a protrusion that extends axially beyond an outer surface of the disc bore, and a groove formed on the axially extending surface of the disc bore wherein an aft surface of the groove is also a forward surface of the interstage coupling, wherein the groove includes a forward surface that extends radially into the disc bore to a groove floor that is cut into the disc bore and extends axially to the aft surface that extends radially outward to at least the axially extending surface of the disc bore, and a disc web that extends radially outward from the disc bore, relative to an axis of rotation of the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A compliant seal assembly that may be for an MTF of a gas turbine engine includes a housing orientated about an axis with a circumferentially extending groove in the housing opened radially outward. An annular carrier of the assembly is constructed and arranged to move radially within the groove, and includes a circumferentially extending channel that is opened radially outward for receipt of a piston ring that may seal to a surrounding cylindrical wall. In operation, the carrier moves radially with respect to the housing to compensate for radial displacement between the housing and the wall, and the piston ring moves axially along the wall to compensate for axial displacement between the housing and the wall.
