A fan casing for an engine having a fan with fan blades that each have a centre of gravity (CoG) that lies on a fan blade CoG plane, the fan casing having a central axis and comprising a main impact region comprising carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) blocks and glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) blocks having a constant thickness throughout the axial extent of the main impact region, wherein the total depth of the main impact region is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the CFRP blocks and GFRP blocks, each of the GFRP blocks is positioned between two CFRP blocks, and the thickness of at least one of the GFRP blocks is different to the thickness of another of the GFRP blocks.

This steam turbine comprises: a rotating shaft that extends along an axis; a plurality of rotor blades that are arranged in the circumferential direction and that extend in a radial direction from the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft; a casing body that covers the rotating shaft and the rotor blades from the outer circumference side; and a plurality of stationary blades that extend in the radial direction from a position on the inner circumferential surface of the casing body on the upstream side of the rotor blades and that are arranged in the circumferential direction. A plurality of microgrooves that extend in the steam flow direction are formed on the surface of the rotor blades and/or the stationary blades.

A fuel manifold adapter for a fuel system of an aircraft engine, the fuel manifold adapter comprising: a body having a body-output interface defining a downstream end of a body passage including a body bore about a bore axis, the body-output interface movably and fluidly connectable to a first component of the fuel system mounted to a first mounting point of the engine, and a body-input interface defining an upstream end of the body passage, the body-input interface rigidly and fluidly connectable to a second component of the fuel system mounted to a second mounting point of the engine, and a transfer tube having an upstream-tube end slidably engaged with the body along the bore axis via the body bore, the transfer tube having a downstream-tube end opposite the upstream-tube end slidably engageable along the bore axis with the first component, the downstream-tube end defining a downstream end of the fuel manifold adapter relative to fuel flow through the fuel manifold adapter.

A turbine and a turbine-generator device for use in electricity generation. The turbine has a universal design and so may be relatively easily modified for use in connection with generators having a rated power output in the range of 50 KW to 5 MW. Such modifications are achieved, in part, through use of a modular turbine cartridge built up of discrete rotor and stator plates sized for the desired application with turbine brush seals chosen to accommodate radial rotor movements from the supported generator. The cartridge may be installed and removed from the turbine relatively easily for maintenance or rebuilding. The rotor housing is designed to be relatively easily machined to dimensions that meet desired operating parameters.

A method of reworking an aerospace component includes removing a casting defect from a component manufactured of a non-fusion weldable base alloy to form a cavity. The cavity is then at least partially filled with a multiple of layers of discrete laser powder deposition spots of a filler alloy. A cast component for a gas turbine engine includes a cast component non-fusion weldable base alloy with a cavity filled with a multiple of layers of laser powder deposition spots of a filler alloy. The filler alloy may be different than the non-fusion weldable base alloy. A layer of non-fusion weldable base alloy is at least partially within the cavity and over the filler alloy.

Turbomachine ring as well as a turbomachine comprising such a ring and a method for repairing such a ring, the turbomachine ring comprising an essentially cylindrical support, including a frontal surface wherein a notch is formed, one or more sectors forming an annulus configured to embody a segment of air stream, each sector comprising a hook portion protruding in the direction of the support and engaging in the notch of the support, and an anti-wear device having a U shaped portion, provided in the notch of the support and pressed at least against the radially external surface of the notch, and a tab portion, continuously extending the U shaped portion, pressed and fastened against the frontal surface of the support.

A disk spring may include an annular base body, a central longitudinal axis of which defines an axial direction of the base body. A profile of the base body in a profile plane containing the central longitudinal axis may have a wave-shaped contour with two minima including a radially inner minimum and a radially outer minimum and with an intermediate maximum disposed between the two minima. The wave-shaped contour may extend from a radially inner end point to a radially outer end point. The radially inner end point may be arranged offset in the axial direction with respect to the radially outer end point.
