The invention relates to an inner ring for a guide vane assembly for mounting adjustable guide vanes of a turbomachine, of a compressor stage or turbine stage of a gas turbine, a guide vane assembly for a turbomachine having an inner ring, a turbomachine having an inner ring, and a method for producing an inner ring, wherein the inner ring has a plurality of guide vane bearing mounts, which are each arranged spaced apart in the peripheral direction, recesses, which are each formed for receiving a bearing element, in particular a bearing journal, of a guide vane, wherein, between at least two adjacent guide vane bearing mounts, the inner ring has at least one depression with a wall thickness in a radial direction that is reduced in comparison to a region that abuts the depression and is outside of the depression.

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a seal comprising: a first leg that emanates from a center point of the seal and is configured to contact a first component, a second leg that emanates from the center point and is configured to contact a second component that is operative at a temperature that is within a range of 648 degrees Celsius to 1093 degrees Celsius, and a third leg that emanates from the center point.

A nozzle for an aircraft powerplant is disclosed which provides two separate flow paths. A flow path is provided in the nozzle for a core flow of the powerplant and another flow path is provided for a bypass flow of the powerplant. The nozzle can have a variety of configurations including, but not limited to, 2D and axisymmetric. Either or both the flow paths can be convergent, divergent, or convergent-divergent, and the flow paths need not be similar between the two. Actuators are provided to manipulate the configuration of the flow paths and the areas of the flow paths. For example, throat and/or exit areas can be manipulated.

A turbomachine blade that includes an airfoil that includes an intrados wall, an extrados wall, a leading edge, a trailing edge, an internal cavity and a plurality of cooling holes made in the walls and leading and trailing edges, each cooling hole connecting the internal cavity to the exterior, one end of each cooling hole opening up into the cavity, the other end of each cooling hole opening to the exterior through an outlet, wherein the cooling holes are distributed in at least one first alignment and a second alignment made in a wall of the airfoil, wherein this outlet of at least one of the cooling holes belonging to at least the second alignment is an oblong shape with its long dimension along the principal direction of said second alignment.

A waste-gate valve is for opening and closing a bypass passage which bypasses an exhaust turbine of a turbocharger, and includes: a valve body disposed in the bypass passage; an open-close lever having a first insertion hole into which a valve shaft of the valve body is inserted, and being configured to open and close the bypass passage by moving the valve body; and a washer having a second insertion hole which is positioned closer to a tip of the valve shaft than the first insertion hole and into which the valve shaft is inserted, the washer being fixed to the valve shaft. The washer has a bend portion bended along an outer shape of the open-close lever.

A fastener cover assembly is disclosed. The cover assembly includes a turbomachinery component having an outer surface exposed to an air flow path; at least one recess formed in the outer surface; a fastener contained in the at least one recess; and a fastener cover secured in the at least one recess, the cover having an outer surface substantially flush with the outer surface of the component to minimize air flow disruption.

A shroud assembly for a turbine engine comprising a plurality of circumferentially arranged shroud segments having confronting end faces defining first and second radially spaced surfaces. The shroud assembly includes a forward edge spanning to an aft edge to define an axial direction and a set of confronting seal channels formed in each of the confronting end faces with a spline seal located within the confronting seal channels.

A convergent-divergent nozzle for a turbofan engine of a supersonic aircraft, wherein the nozzle has an inner wall that delimits a flow channel through the nozzle radially outside, wherein the flow channel has a nozzle throat surface and a nozzle exit surface. The inner wall includes a first group of adjustable segments forming an upstream convergent area of the nozzle, and second group of adjustable segments forming a downstream constant/divergent area of the nozzle. It is provided that the segments of the first group or the segments of the second group are curved towards the flow channel in a convex manner at least in an area that adjoins the other group, forming the nozzle throat surface in the area of the convex curvature and adjoining the segments of the respectively other group at an axial distance to the axial position of the nozzle throat surface.

An apparatus and method for an engine component for a turbine engine including an exterior wall separating a hot fluid flow exterior of the engine component from a cooling fluid flow interior of the engine component. A cooling circuit can be provided within the component having a cooling passage. At least two film holes can extend through the exterior wall for providing a cooling film along the exterior of the wall. The film holes can overlap one another relative to the hot fluid flow.

An apparatus for providing foreign object debris protection an air intake of an aircraft engine. The apparatus includes a frame and a plurality of cross-members. The cross-members are positioned in the frame to define a plurality of screen openings. At least one of the cross-members has an aerodynamically efficient cross section.
