Abstract:
A core compartment aft vent is disclosed. The core compartment aft vent may include a flexible core engine cowl surrounding a core engine case. A plurality of circumferentially spaced bumpers may be disposed within the aft vent and in operative contact with the flexible core engine cowl.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine comprises a core engine housing. A nacelle is positioned radially outwardly of the core engine housing. An outer bypass housing is positioned outwardly of the nacelle. There is at least one accessory to be cooled positioned in a chamber radially between the core engine housing and the nacelle. A manifold delivers cooling air into the chamber, and extends ng circumferentially about a central axis of the core engine. The nacelle has an asymmetric flow cross-section across a circumferential extent.
Abstract:
A lubricant supply system for a gas turbine engine has a lubricant lube pump delivering lubricant to an outlet line. The outlet line is split into at least a hot line and into a cool line, with the hot line directed primarily to locations associated with an engine that are not intended to receive cooler lubricant, and the cool line directed through one or more heat exchangers at which lubricant is cooled. The cool line then is routed to a fan drive gear for an associated gas turbine engine. A method and apparatus are disclosed.

Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a fan duct, an inner fixed structure, and a thrust reverser assembly. The inner fixed structure forms an inner diameter of the fan duct and encloses a core compartment. The thrust reverser assembly includes a linkage assembly mounted to the inner fixed structure within the fan duct. The linkage assembly is adapted to act as a ventilation system that allows for communication between the fan duct and the core compartment.
