Abstract:
A vane pack for a gas turbine engine includes an annular arrangement of vanes. A ring is secured around the vanes and extends proud of an axial end of the vanes.
Abstract:
A seal land for a gas turbine engine can include a seal body circumferentially extending about a longitudinal centerline axis. The seal body includes at least one sealing surface that extends in a plane that is transverse to the longitudinal centerline axis.
Abstract:
A vane has an airfoil extending between a radially outer platform and a radially inner platform. At least one of the platforms has nominally radially thinner portions, and a pad defining a radially thicker portion. The pad has a radial thickness that is greater than a thickness of the nominal radially thinner portions. The pad surrounds an outer periphery of the airfoil on a side of the radially outer platform. The pad has a varying radial thickness. A mid-turbine frame and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An airfoil extends between radially inner and radially outer platforms. The airfoil extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and merges into facing surfaces of the radially inner and outer platforms. A variable fillet merges a facing surface of one of the radially inner and outer platforms into a wall of the airfoil. The variable fillet has a length extending away from a surface of the airfoil and a height extending away from the facing surface of at least one of the radially inner and outer platforms outwardly on to the airfoil. The variable fillet has a greater length at one of the leading edge and the trailing edge. A spaced portion has a shorter length at locations spaced from at least one of the leading and trailing edges. A mid-turbine frame and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An interface within a gas turbine engine includes a sealing surface defined by a portion of a vane platform. A seal is in contact with said sealing surface. A barrier is transverse to the sealing surface.
Abstract:
A vane for use in a gas turbine engine has an airfoil extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, a radially outer platform and a radially inner platform. A rib is on one of the radially inner and radially outer platforms, and is adjacent the trailing edge of the airfoil. A mid-turbine frame is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A borescope plug assembly includes a borescope plug having a shaft section and a tip section, a bushing engageable with the shaft section and a seal engageable with the tip section.
Abstract:
A seal land for a gas turbine engine can include a seal body that can extend between a leading edge portion, a trailing edge portion, a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface. A notch can extend at least partially through the seal body between the radially outer surface and the radially inner surface.
Abstract:
A method (600) of controlling fuel injection into a combustor (56) of a gas turbine engine (20) including: applying a first electrical charge (212) to fuel (72) such that the fuel becomes a charged fuel (720); and applying a second electrical charge (214) to a component (250) of the combustor, wherein the first electrical charge is applied to the fuel at a first frequency and the second electrical charge is applied to the component at a second frequency such that at least one of a selected tone, a selected screech, and a selected noise is produced by spraying the charged fuel through the component and into a combustion chamber (54) of the combustor from a fuel nozzle (78).
