Abstract:
A borescope plug assembly includes a borescope plug having a shaft section and a tip section, a bushing engageable with the shaft section and a seal engageable with the tip section.
Abstract:
An assembly includes a gas turbine engine component and a plate. The plate is spaced from a surface of the component and generally conforms to the shape of the surface. The plate and component form a passageway that allows for passage of a secondary gas flow between the component and the plate.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a casing, a probe, and a fairing. The probe extends through the casing and the fairing is disposed within the casing. The fairing is engaged by the probe to prevent circumferential movement of the fairing relative to the casing.
Abstract:
A turbine seal system comprises an annular structural frame, a circumferential ring, a fairing and a seal. The circumferential ring is joined to the annular structural frame. The fairing is disposed within the annular structural frame and is engaged with the circumferential ring to limit circumferential rotation of the fairing with respect to the annular structural frame. The seal extends between the fairing and the circumferential ring. In one embodiment, the structural component comprises a ring-strut-ring turbine exhaust case.
Abstract:
A multi-ply finger seal with a first ply that is subject to a first amount of deflection during operation of the gas turbine engine and a second ply that is subject to a second amount of deflection during operation of the gas turbine engine. The first amount of deflection of the first ply differs from the second amount of deflection of the second ply. The differing amounts of deflection can result from the first ply and second ply being constructed from materials that have different coefficients of thermal expansion. Additionally or alternatively, the first ply can have a stiffness that differs from the stiffness of the second ply.
Abstract:
An assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a frame, a mount, and a fairing. The mount is attached to the frame and the fairing is connected to the mount. The fairing and mount have mating anti-deflection features that engage to prevent circumferential movement of the fairing relative to the frame.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes an engine static structure. A fairing is supported relative to the engine static structure and configured to provide a flow path surface of a flow path extending in an axial direction. A seal plate has first and second ends radially spaced from one another with respect to the axial direction. The first end is operatively secured to the engine static structure. The second end is configured to seal relative to the fairing. The seal plate includes a portion between the first and second ends that extends substantially in the axial direction and configured to permit the second end to move away from the fairing in the axial direction relative to the first end in response to thermal growth.
