Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes an engine static structure housing that includes a compressor section and a turbine section. A core nacelle encloses the engine static structure to provide a core compartment. An oil tank is arranged in the core compartment and is axially aligned with the compressor section. Fan and core nacelles define an annular bypass flow path. The core nacelle provides a core compartment and includes an opening into the core compartment. The oil tank is arranged in the core compartment and includes a portion aligned with the opening that is exposed to the bypass flow path. The engine static structure is supported relative to a fan case by a radial structure. The oil tank is mounted to the engine static structure. An oil fill tube is mounted to the fan case and is fluidly connected to the oil tank.
Abstract:
An accessory system for a gas turbine engine includes an accessory gearbox which defines an accessory gearbox axis and includes first and second sides. A first geartrain includes one or more shafts rotatable about axes perpendicular to the first side of the accessory gearbox and a second geartrain includes one or more shafts rotatable about axes perpendicular to the second side of the accessory gearbox. A driven gear set defines an input axis and drives first geartrain and the second geartrain about corresponding first and second drive axes parallel to the input axis.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has an impeller pump for delivering air to an environmental control system and a speed control pump connected to the impeller pump for driving the impeller pump at a constant speed.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a propulsion assembly situated to rotate about an engine central axis. Operation of the propulsion assembly requires a first amount of fluid during a first operating condition and a second, greater amount of the fluid during a second operating condition. A first pump is operatively associated with a low speed spool that rotates with a low pressure turbine. The first pump has a first fluid delivering capacity corresponding to at least the first amount. A second pump has a second fluid delivering capacity configured to correspond to at least a difference between the first amount and the second amount. The first pump provides the fluid for propulsion assembly during the first and second operating conditions and the second pump provides the fluid for propulsion assembly operation only during the second operating condition.
Abstract:
An engine includes a duct containing a flow of cool air and a pump system for providing air to an environmental control system. The pump system has an impeller having an inlet for receiving cool air from the duct and an outlet for discharging air to the environmental control system.
