The radial turbine rotor includes a plurality of sectors, with each sector coupled to the root of a respective blade of the plurality of blades. Each sector of the plurality of sectors defines a first surface configured to contact a working fluid and a second surface configured to be coupled to the disk, and each sector of the plurality of sectors defines at least one pocket between the first surface and the second surface proximate the forward end that extends toward the aft end. The radial turbine rotor includes a feather seal slot defined between adjacent sectors of the plurality of sectors proximate the first surface.

A gas turbine engine includes a ceramic wall for bounding an engine core gas path. The ceramic wall has a ceramic wall first side that faces the engine core gas path and a ceramic wall second side that faces away from the engine core gas path. There is a metallic wall adjacent the ceramic wall second side. The metallic wall has a metallic wall first side that faces the ceramic wall and a metallic wall second side that faces away from the ceramic wall. The metallic wall and the ceramic wall are spaced apart such that there is a channel there between. There is a seal on the ceramic wall second side, and the metallic wall has at least one cooling hole adjacent the seal for emitting cooling air to cool the seal.

In some embodiments, apparatuses are provided herein useful to sealing a gap between a movable flap and stationary structure, such as a gap between a gas turbine engine nozzle flap and sidewall. An apparatus for sealing such a gap may be a plunger seal which may include a plurality of plunger segments connected together using at least one flexure. When positioned in the gap, the flexures within the plunger segments pivot allowing rotation of each of the plurality of plunger segments about their respective pivot point, such that the plunger assembly seals and contours against the movable surface.

The invention relates to a bladed disk (1) of a fan, comprising: a hub (10) comprising an outer radial platform (13) designed so as to define an inner gas flow stream in the turbomachine, a plurality of blades (20) comprising a root (23) connected to the platform (13), a leading edge (21) and a trailing edge (22), a groove formed in the platform (13) around part of the root (23) of each blade (20) in an area adjacent to the leading edge (21) and/or the trailing edge (22), and a joint (30) placed in the groove (15) in such a way that it extends in the extension of the radially outer face (14) of the platform (13) in order to ensure a continuity of the inner flow stream.

An impingement insert for an airfoil of a turbomachine component is provided. The insert includes first and second body parts, each having inner and outer surfaces; and first and second contact parts provided on the outer surfaces of the first and the second body parts. The insert includes a flexible mechanical seal part between the body parts. A flow channel for cooling air is defined by the seal part and the inner surfaces of the body parts. One or both of the body parts include impingement holes. The insert has an elastic part connected to the body parts. When the elastic part is subjected to deformation, the elastic part is configured to apply a force, on the first and/or the second body parts, in a direction of increasing a separation between the first contact part and the second contact part.

A bearing compartment seal for a gas turbine engine includes at least one seal ring defining an axis and having a radially inward facing sealing surface and a seal runner having a support constructed of a first material and an interface portion constructed of a second material. The interface portion includes a radially outward facing surface. A first coefficient of thermal expansion of the second material is at most approximately equal to a second coefficient of thermal expansion of the at least one seal ring.

A compressor stator vane unit includes multiple compressor stator vanes disposed at a certain interval in a circumferential direction; and an annular joint member connected with inner ends of the multiple compressor stator vanes; wherein the annular joint member constitutes an outer diameter side surface of a leakage fluid flow path provided in an inner diameter side of the joint member to communicate a high-pressure space with a low-pressure space respectively located downstream and upstream of the multiple compressor stator vanes in a fluid flow direction, and D/P is set to 0.05≤D/P≤0.2, wherein D is defined as a distance in an axial direction between an upstream end surface of the annular joint member and an upstream edge of the multiple compressor stator vanes in the fluid flow direction and P is defined as a pitch between the adjacent compressor stator vanes in the circumferential direction.

A seal assembly includes first, second, and third gas turbine engine components, such as vane assemblies, that are successively arranged around an axis. Each component has first and second mate faces such that the first mate face of the first component and the second mate face of the second component define a first mate face gap, and the first mate face of the second component and the second mate face of the third component to define a second mate face gap. A seal arc segment has first and second seal portions and a connector portion that joins the seal portions. The first seal portion bridges the first mate face gap to seal the first mate face gap, the second seal portion bridges the second mate face gap to seal the second mate face gap, and the connector portion spans circumferentially across the second component.

An airfoil assembly includes an airfoil fairing, a spar, a seal plate, and a seal. The airfoil fairing has a fairing platform and a hollow airfoil section that extends from the fairing platform. The spar has a spar leg that extends in the hollow airfoil section. The spar leg defines a spar leg periphery. The seal plate is secured with the fairing platform. The seal plate has an opening, and the opening has an opening periphery that is complementary to the spar leg periphery. The spar leg extends through the opening. The seal is between the seal plate and the spar leg. The seal seals around the spar leg periphery.

A vane assembly includes a platform. A vane cover is arranged adjacent the platform. The vane cover has a protrusion that provides a spring land. The spring land is arranged at an angle relative to the vane cover. A spring assembly has a plunger. The plunger is in contact with the spring land.
