Abstract: An electrical machine includes a stator assembly coupled to an engine stator component of a propulsion engine. The stator assembly includes a stator support assembly fixedly attached to the engine stator component and a stator disposed on the stator support structure. An electrical machine shaft is coupled to an end of a shaft of the propulsion engine via an intermediate shaft member extending axially between the end of the shaft and the electrical machine shaft. A bearing support frame extends from the propulsion engine, the bearing support frame defining a bearing cavity in conjunction with the electrical machine shaft. Electrical machine bearings radially extend from the bearing support frame to rotatably contact the electrical machine shaft. A rotor attached to a rotor support structure attached to the electrical machine shaft. The rotor rotates in conjunction with the electrical machine shaft to exchange energy with the shaft of the propulsion engine.

Abstract: Preload sleeves and/or other retainers for a collet-mounted blade dovetail and/or other root are disclosed. An example turbofan for an engine includes a trunnion forming a socket for a root of a blade, a primary collet positioning the root with respect to the trunnion, and a radial preload retainer at least partially encircling the primary collet and applying a radial force with respect to the primary collet to support the primary collet positioning the root with respect to the trunnion.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides fluid eductors, systems that utilize fluid eductors, and methods of entraining a suction fluid flow using a fluid eductor. Exemplary fluid eductors include a concentric eductor space or a plurality of annular eductor spaces. Exemplary methods include ejecting a volume of motive fluid out of a concentric eductor space of a fluid eductor, accelerating a peripheral region of the suction fluid flow with the motive fluid ejecting out of the first annular eductor space, and accelerating a core region of the suction fluid flow with the motive fluid ejecting out of the second annular eductor space.

Abstract: A turbomachine defining a flowpath therethrough at which a fluid is compressed is provided, in which the turbomachine includes a first compressor in serial flow arrangement upstream of a second compressor. The second compressor includes a port at the flowpath and is configured to receive at least a portion of the fluid from the flowpath from the second compressor. The first compressor includes a vane positioned at the flowpath and the vane includes an opening at the flowpath configured to egress the portion of the fluid from the port into the flowpath.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan located at a forward portion of the gas turbine engine. A compressor section and a turbine section are arranged in serial flow order. The compressor section and the turbine section together define a core airflow path. A rotary member is rotatable with at least a portion of the compressor section and with at least a portion of the turbine section. An electrical machine is coupled to the rotary member and is located at least partially inward of the core airflow path in a radial direction. An enclosure at least partially encloses the electrical machine. The enclosure at least partially defines a first cooling airflow path within the enclosure that at least partially defines a first cooling airflow buffer cavity at least partially around the electrical machine. The first cooling airflow path is in communication with a second cooling airflow path located outside the enclosure that at least partially defines a second cooling airflow buffer cavity at least partially around the enclosure. A cooling duct provides pressurized air to the first cooling airflow path such that the air flows along both the first cooling airflow path and the second cooling airflow path providing the first cooling airflow buffer cavity and the second cooling airflow buffer cavity.
