Abstract:
A first actuator moves a compressor rotor and compressor blades along a rotational axis of the compressor rotor. A turbine rotor includes a plurality of turbine blades each extending radially outwardly from the turbine rotor to an outer tip. A turbine housing surrounds each of the turbine blade tips. The turbine housing has an inner surface, and a turbine tip clearance is defined between each of the turbine blade tips and the inner surface of the turbine housing. A second actuator moves the turbine rotor and the turbine blades along a rotational axis of the turbine rotor. A control controls the first actuator of the compressor rotor, and the second actuator of the turbine rotor to control the compressor tip clearance and the turbine tip clearance.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine section has a housing and a plurality of panels attached to the housing. The panels face toward a flow path of hot products of combustion. The panels include a central web and extending legs. A bend between the central web and the extending legs is formed at a radius. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
