Mounting arrangements for gas turbine engine accessories

A housing for a gas turbine engine accessory includes an enclosure having a drive end with an opening and a closure. The closure is seated in the opening, defines therethrough a shaft aperture and has a v-band flange extending about a periphery of the closure to limit load carried by the enclosure when the engine accessory is mounted to an accessory gearbox mount in a cantilevered arrangement. Engine accessories for gas turbine engines and mounting arrangements for gas turbine engine accessories are also described.

STRUT REINFORCING STRUCTURE FOR A TURBINE EXHAUST CASE
20220381156 · 2022-12-01 ·

A turbine exhaust case (TEC) has an outer case and an inner case structurally interconnected by a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart struts. At least one of the struts has an airfoil body with a hollow core. The airfoil body has opposed pressure and suction sides extending chordwise from a leading edge to a trailing edge and spanwise from a radially inner end to a radially outer end. The radially inner end of the strut has a strut wall extension that extends through the inner case to a location radially inward of the inner case relative to the central axis.

Geared turbofan engine mount arrangement

A gas turbine engine for an aircraft comprising an engine core comprising a turbine, a compressor, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor; a fan located upstream of the engine core, the fan comprising a plurality of fan blades; a gearbox that receives an input from the core shaft and outputs drive to the fan so as to drive the fan at a lower rotational speed than the core shaft, and a front mount and a rear mount, the front and rear mounts being configured to connect the gas turbine engine to the aircraft, wherein the front mount is coupled to a casing of the engine core and the front mount is located at substantially the same axial position as a centre of gravity (CG) of the gas turbine engine or forward of the centre of gravity of the gas turbine engine.
