Rotor drum for a turbomachine
A rotor drum for an aircraft turbomachine includes an annular wall extending around a longitudinal axis (A), the annular wall carrying rotor blades and having at least one bleed device configured to allow at least one liquid to pass through the annular wall. The bleed device includes a series of three adjacent circular orifices, the three orifices being aligned along a line and having a central orifice of larger diameter D1 and two lateral orifices of smaller diameter D2 diametrically opposed with respect to the central orifice.
Pneumatic controller for controlling a bleed valve
Controller for controlling a bleed valve including a first body with an internal cavity connected to an air inlet port and an air outlet port, a second body including a chamber, a mobile member in the cavity and in the chamber, connecting the two bodies. The member is mobile between a position whereby the ports fluidly communicate and a position whereby the ports are isolated, the member further including two pistons housed in the chamber and defining in this chamber at least two spaces. The controller also includes a fluid supply for at least one of the spaces for the purpose of moving the pistons in the chamber.
Gas turbine engine rotor disc retention assembly
A rotor disc retention assembly of a gas turbine includes a tension bolt, a rotor disc with a hub, a web, a blade retention arrangement, a rotational axis, a first axial side and a second axial side. The hub has a central bore around the rotational axis. The web is integrally formed with and extends radially outwards from the hub to the blade retention arrangement. The blade retention arrangement has a centre of mass. A radial plane perpendicular to the rotational axis passes through the centre of mass. The first axial side engages the tension bolt. The radial plane intersects the hub defining a first axial side portion towards the first axial side and a second axial side portion towards the second axial side. The second axial side portion has an axial extent which is between 10% and 30% greater than an axial extent of the first axial side portion.
ROTOR FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE
A rotor for an aircraft engine includes a hub having a rotation axis, a circumferential array of structural members extending radially outward from the hub to an annular ring, the structural members having cross-sections that increase in length as the structural members extend from the hub to the annular ring, the length of each cross-section of the cross-sections defined by opposite edges of a structural member of the structural members that corresponds to that cross-section, and a circumferential array of airfoils extending radially outward from the annular ring.
TURBINE ENGINE ROTOR ELEMENT ASSEMBLY EQUIPPED WITH A SEALING DEVICE
A turbine engine assembly including a first rotor element and a second rotor element extending around a longitudinal axis X and coupled to one another by a gear coupling, the first rotor element including teeth and the second rotor element including complementary teeth which extend along the longitudinal axis and form the gear coupling. The first and second rotor elements each include a first and a second radial flange which are annular and arranged facing one another, and the assembly includes a sealing device configured to ensure that the gear coupling is sealed at the first and second flanges.
INTEGRAL SEALING MEMBERS FOR BLADES RETAINED WITHIN A ROTATABLE ANNULAR OUTER DRUM ROTOR IN A TURBOMACHINE
A blade for a turbomachine includes a blade root portion for securing the blade to a rotatable annular outer drum rotor. The blade root portion includes one or more radial retention features for radially retaining each of the blade root portions within the rotatable annular outer drum rotor. Further, at least one of the radial retention feature(s) includes at least one sealing member integrated therewith.
Compressor rotor stack assembly for gas turbine engine
A compressor rotor assembly including a plurality of rotor disks axially spaced from each other, each rotor disk extending radially from an inner end to an outer end. Also included is a spacer extending axially from each rotor disk to engage an adjacent spacer extending from an adjacent rotor disk, the spacer and adjacent spacer disposed proximate the outer end of the respective rotor disks, the spacers forming an outer backbone of the compressor rotor assembly. Further included is an inner backbone of the compressor rotor assembly, the inner backbone comprising a plurality of backbone segments, each of the backbone segments extending axially from each rotor disk to engage an adjacent backbone segment extending from an adjacent rotor disk, the backbone segment and the adjacent backbone segment disposed proximate the inner end of the respective rotor disks.
Actuation Assembly for Concentric Variable Stator Vanes
An actuation assembly for concentric variable stator vanes of a rotary component of a gas turbine engine. The actuation assembly includes an inner casing and an intermediate casing defining a first concentric flowpath extending between the inner casing and the intermediate casing. The actuation assembly includes an outer casing defining a second concentric flowpath extending between the intermediate casing and the outer casing. The actuation assembly includes a first variable stator vane extending radially inward from the intermediate casing into the first concentric flowpath. The actuation assembly includes a second variable stator vane extending radially within the second concentric flowpath between a distal end at the outer casing and proximate end at the inner casing and defining a cavity extending therebetween. A first trunnion extends radially inward from the outer casing through the cavity of the second variable stator vane and is drivingly coupled to the first variable stator vane.
Rotor for gas turbine engine
