    Abstract: An air riding seal for a turbine in a gas turbine engine, where an annular piston is axial moveable within an annular piston chamber formed in a stator of the turbine and forms a seal with a surface on the rotor using pressurized air that forms a cushion in a pocket of the annular piston. A purge cavity is formed on the annular piston and is connected to a purge hole that extends through the annular piston to a lower pressure region around the annular piston or through the rotor to an opposite side. The annular piston is sealed also with inner and outer seals that can be a labyrinth seal to form an additional seal than the cushion of air in the pocket to prevent the face of the air riding seal from overheating.

    Abstract: An air riding seal between a rotor and a stator in a turbine of a gas turbine engine, where an annular piston is movable in an axial direction within a housing that extends from the stator, and a bellows is secured to the annular piston to form a flexible air passageway from a compressed air inlet through the annular piston and into a cushion cavity that forms an air riding seal between the annular piston and the rotor sealing surface. In another embodiment, a flexible seal secured to and extending from the annular piston forms a sealing surface between the annular piston chamber and the annular piston to provide a seal and allow for axial movement.

    Abstract: An expander cycle rocket engine includes secondary turbopump to further pressurize a gaseous fuel discharged from a primary turbine prior to entering the combustion chamber. The secondary turbopump is driven by fuel bled off from the primary fuel pump. A gaseous fuel that is heated from passing around the nozzle that is passed through the primary turbine to drive the primary fuel and oxidizer pumps is then passed through the secondary turbine to drive the secondary fuel compressor. With the secondary turbopump used in the Johnson-Sexton cycle engine, a thrust produced by the expander cycle rocket engine is greater than those obtained by prior art expander cycle rocket engines due to the square-cube rule.
