Abstract:
A turbomachine includes a rotor hub that has a central opening there through. A shaft extends through the central opening. A clamp is coupled with the shaft and the rotor hub such that the rotor hub is rotatable with the shaft.
Abstract:
An exemplary gas turbine engine includes a fan, a compressor section, a combustor in fluid communication with the compressor section and a turbine section in fluid communication with the combustor. The fan includes a first plurality of fan blades supported on a first fan support and a second plurality of fan blades supported on a second fan support. The first and second fan supports are rotatable about a fan axis independently of each other. A geared architecture includes at least one gear driven by the turbine section for rotating about a gear axis that is transverse to the fan axis. The gear drives the fan supports for rotating the respective pluralities of fan blades in opposite directions.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine thrust reverser system includes a fan nacelle having a fixed portion and a movable portion configured to move relative to the fixed portion between opened and closed positions in response to a command to selectively provide an opening between the fixed and movable portions. A fan case is arranged within the fan nacelle. The fan case includes an integral bull nose adjacent to the opening in the open position and to the movable portion in the closed position. The bull nose has a curved wall sloping radially outward.
