Abstract:
A component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a wall and at least one rib that protrudes from the wall and extends to a rib end, the rib end having a curved transition portion near a location where the at least one rib meets the wall.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a damper (334) configured to be located in a cavity (346) formed between first and second bases (322a,322b) configured to seat respective first and second airfoils, the damper (334) having a first face and a second face, where an aspect ratio between the first face and the second face ensures that the damper (334) is installed in the cavity (346) in accordance with a predetermined orientation.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine (20) blade (64) includes a platform (68) that has an inner side (68A) and an outer side (68B), a root (70) that extends outwardly from the inner side (68A), and an airfoil (72) that extends outwardly from a base (72A) at the outer side (68B) to a tip end (72B). The airfoil (72) includes a leading edge and a trailing edge and a first side wall (72C) and a second side wall (72D). The first side wall (72C) and the second side wall (72D) join the leading edge and the trailing edge and at least partially define one or more cavities (74) in the airfoil (72). The airfoil (72) has a span from the base (72A) to the tip end (72B), with the base (72A) being at 0% of the span and the tip end (72B) being at 100% of the span. The first side wall (72C) includes an axial row (76) of cooling holes (78) at 90% or greater of the span.
Abstract:
Airfoils for gas turbine engines are described. The airfoils (320) include an airfoil body extending between a platform (348) and a tip (322), the airfoil body having a leading edge (322), a trailing edge (324), a pressure side (326), and a suction side (328), a serpentine cavity formed within the airfoil body and having an up-pass serpentine cavity (340), a down-pass serpentine cavity (342), and a trailing edge cavity (344), and a dead-end tip flag cavity (338) extending in a direction between the leading edge and the trailing edge, the dead-end tip flag cavity arranged between the serpentine cavity and the tip, wherein the dead-end tip flag cavity ends at a dead-end wall (366) located at a position between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the airfoil body. A corresponding core assembly for the formation of the airfoil is also provided.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems for preventing improper installation of a damper seal (340). In various embodiments, an airfoil assembly (200) may comprise a platform (212), an airfoil (210; 410) extending from the platform (212), and a platform tab (314). The airfoil (210; 410) may comprise a gaspath face (317) and a non-gaspath face (319). The non-gaspath face (319) may at least partially define a cavity (316). The airfoil (210; 410) may comprise a pressure side and a suction side (318). The platform tab (314) may be located adjacent to the suction side (318) of the airfoil (210; 410). The platform tab (314) may extend from the platform (212) in the opposite direction as the airfoil (210; 410) and may be configured to prevent a damper seal tab (342) from being inserted radially inwards of the platform tab (314).
