Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has a compressor rotor with blades and a disk. A bore is defined radially inwardly of the disk. A combustor includes a burner nozzle. A tap taps air that has been combusted in the combustor section through a valve, and into the bore of the disk. A method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A turbofan engine includes a geared architecture for driving a fan about an axis. The geared architecture includes a sun gear rotatable about an axis, a plurality of planet gears driven by the sun gear and a ring gear circumscribing the plurality of planet gears. A carrier supports the plurality of planet gears. The geared architecture includes a power transfer parameter (PTP) defined as power transferred through the geared architecture divided by gear volume multiplied by a gear reduction ratio and is between about 219 and 328.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a very high speed low pressure turbine such that a quantity defined by the exit area of the low pressure turbine multiplied by the square of the low pressure turbine rotational speed compared to the same parameters for the high pressure turbine is at a ratio between about 0.5 and about 1.5. The high pressure turbine is supported by a bearing positioned at a point where the first shaft connects to a hub carrying turbine rotors associated with the second turbine section.

A fan rotor and three compressor rotors, with an upstream one of the compressor rotors are connected to rotate on a shaft with a fan drive turbine and a reduced speed fan rotor through a gear reduction. A second intermediate compressor rotor for being driven by the second intermediate turbine rotor, and a third compressor rotor downstream of the first and second compressor rotors and for being driven by the first turbine rotor.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has a fan rotor, a first compressor rotor and a second compressor rotor. The second compressor rotor compresses air to a higher pressure than the first compressor rotor. A first turbine rotor drives the second compressor rotor and a second turbine rotor. The second turbine drives the compressor rotor. A fan drive turbine is positioned downstream of the second turbine rotor. The fan drive turbine drives the fan rotor through a gear reduction. The first compressor rotor and second turbine rotor rotate as an intermediate speed spool. The second compressor rotor and first turbine rotor together as a high speed spool. The high speed spool, the intermediate speed spool, and the fan drive turbine rotate in the same direction.
