A turbine exhaust structure for an intermediate-pressure exhaust end of a high-and-intermediate-pressure (HIP) module.

A gas turbine engine includes a turbine rotor connected to a main compressor rotor. A tail cone is mounted inward of an exhaust core flow. A generator rotor is adjacent a generator stator. The generator rotor and stator are mounted within the tail cone. A passage connects a bypass flow path to the tail cone. A cooling air compressor is operable within the passage. The turbine rotor drives a shaft to drive the generator rotor and the cooling compressor. A method is also disclosed.

Disclosed is an electrically conductive rigid bar (80) for electrically connecting an electric machine (70) of an aircraft turbine engine, characterised in that it comprises:- an elongate body (80a) made from electrically conductive material having a polygonal cross-section greater than or equal to 50 mm.sup.2, and - an electrical insulation sheath (80b) that surrounds the body, at least one of the longitudinal ends (84a) of the body not being covered by the sheath and comprising a through-hole (86) in which a bolt (88) for fastening and electrically connecting this end is mounted.

A service tube assembly for an aircraft engine, comprising: a service tube having a threaded end portion, an opposed end portion and an annular tube surface proximate to the threaded end portion; a housing having an outer surface defining a tube socket extending in the outer surface, and a ramp extending toward the tube socket so as to define an engagement direction, the tube socket engaged with the threaded end portion of the service tube; a locking member having a bottom surface disposed against the ramp and an engagement surface facing toward the service tube, the locking member slidable along the ramp in the engagement direction between a first member position in which the engagement surface is spaced from the annular tube surface and a second member position in which the engagement surface contacts the annular tube surface; and a fastener releasably holding the locking member against the ramp.

An intermediate casing includes an inner wall having an outer surface extending along a longitudinal axis, the outer surface having a first profile in a first plane, an outer wall having an inner surface a second profile in the first plane, and first through fourth arms each extending radially. The outer and inner surfaces and the first and second arms delimit a first cavity, the first cavity having a first area and the outer and inner surfaces being separated by a first distance. The outer and inner surfaces and the third and fourth arms delimit a second cavity, the second cavity having a second area and the outer and inner surfaces being separated by a second distance. The first and second profiles are such that the first area is substantially identical to the second area and the first distance is different from the second distance.

A fan case assembly adapted for use with a gas turbine engine includes a fan track liner and an annular case. The fan track liner extends circumferentially at least partway about a central axis of the gas turbine engine. The annular case is configured to support the fan track liner at a radial position relative to the central axis. The fan case assembly further includes an air recirculation duct configured to redirect air around the fan track liner.

A gear reduction reduces a speed of a fan rotor relative to a speed of a fan drive turbine. A fan case surrounds the fan rotor. A core engine has a compressor section and includes a low pressure compressor. The fan rotor delivers air into a bypass duct defined between the fan case and the core engine. A rigid connection between the fan case and the core engine includes a plurality of aft connecting members rigidly connected to the fan case, and to the core engine. A plurality of fan exit guide vanes are rigidly connected to the fan case, with the fan exit guide vanes including structural fan exit guide vanes which are rigidly connected to the core engine, and non-structural fan exit guide vanes, and the non-structural fan exit guide vanes being provided with an acoustic feature to reduce noise.
