The thrust reverser door further includes a grid structure mounted to the second side of the cover plate body and the interior surface of the backskin.

A turbine component includes a root and an airfoil extending from the root to a tip opposite the root. The airfoil forms a leading edge and a trailing edge portion extending to a trailing edge. A plurality of nested cooling channels in the trailing edge portion of the airfoil permit passage of a cooling fluid from an interior of the turbine component to an exterior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion. A method of making a turbine component includes forming an airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge portion extending to a trailing edge, and a plurality of nested cooling channels in the trailing edge portion. Each nested cooling channel fluidly connects an interior of the turbine component with an exterior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion. A method of cooling a turbine component is also disclosed.

A turbomachinery stator apparatus includes: a compressor casing including a casing wall defining an arcuate flowpath surface and an opposed backside surface, the flowpath surface defining at least two spaced-apart rotor lands; and a stator vane row of stator vanes disposed inside the compressor casing; wherein the casing wall includes at least one hollow structure; and wherein the casing wall is a single monolithic whole, wherein the stator vanes are integrally formed as part of the monolithic whole.

A rotor disk is provided. The rotor disk may comprise a disk lug and a trench. The disk lug may be fixed to a distal surface of the rotor disk. The trench may be disposed on a surface of the disk lug. The trench may extend radially inwards from a distal surface of the disk lug. The trench may be configured to at least partially define a flow path by which cooling air may reach a distal surface of the disk lug in order to provide disk lug cooling.

A method is provided for fabricating a coolant channel closeout jacket on a structure having coolant channels formed in an outer surface thereof. A line of tangency relative to the outer surface is defined for each point on the outer surface. Linear rows of a metal feedstock are directed towards and deposited on the outer surface of the structure as a beam of weld energy is directed to the metal feedstock so-deposited. A first angle between the metal feedstock so-directed and the line of tangency is maintained in a range of 20-90°. The beam is directed towards a portion of the linear rows such that less than 30% of the cross-sectional area of the beam impinges on a currently-deposited one of the linear rows. A second angle between the beam and the line of tangency is maintained in a range of 5-65°.

Methods of forming a desired geometry at a location on a superalloy part are disclosed. The method may include directing particles of a powder mixture including a low melt temperature superalloy powder and a high melt temperature superalloy powder to the location on the superalloy part at a velocity sufficient to cause the superalloy powders to deform and to form a mechanical bond but not a metallurgical bond to the superalloy part. The directing of particles continues until the desired geometry is formed. Heat is applied to the powder mixture on the repair location. The heat causes the low melt temperature superalloy powder to melt, creating the metallurgical bonding at the location. Another method uses the same directing to form a preform for repairing the location on the part. The low melt temperature superalloy powder melts at less than 1287° C., and the high melt temperature superalloy powder melts at greater than 1287° C.

A turbine engine blade made of composite material including fiber reinforcement obtained by three dimensionally weaving yarns and densified with a matrix, the blade including an airfoil and a blade root forming a single part. The blade root includes two opposite lateral flanks that are substantially plane and that are clamped between two independent pads made of composite material, which pads are fastened against the lateral flanks of the blade root to form a blade root that is bulb-shaped.

A stator assembly having: an inner air seal carrier having a mounting body; a plurality of guide vanes secured to the mounting body via a plurality of fasteners; and a fastener retention mechanism secured to the mounting body via the plurality of fasteners. The fastener retention mechanism having: a housing defining an inner chamber; and a filler located within the inner chamber. The portions of the plurality of fasteners are encapsulated within the filler.

A system for an outlet guide vane assembly and method of assembly thereof are provided herein. The outlet guide vane assembly generally includes a composite outlet guide vane that includes a monolithic body extending in an axial direction from a base to a top, as well as an anchor bracket. At least one of the base and the top includes a bulbous profile having a thickness in a radial direction that is greater than a thickness of the monolithic body in the radial direction, where the radial direction is orthogonal to the axial direction. The anchor bracket generally includes an anchor base, an engagement slot, and at least one side structure defining the engagement slot.

An airfoiled component comprises: a root section, an airfoil section, a damper pocket enclosed within a portion of the airfoil section, and a damper. The airfoil section includes a suction sidewall and a pressure sidewall each extending chordwise between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and extending spanwise between the root section and an airfoil tip. The damper includes a fixed end unified with a damper mounting surface, and a free end extending into the damper pocket from the damper mounting surface.
