Blade retainer for gas turbine engine
A blade retainer adapted for use in a gas turbine engine is configured to block axial movement of a blade. The blade retainer includes a first brace, a second brace, and a web that extends between the first brace and the second brace. The blade retainer is configured to block axial movement of a root of the blade out of a blade receiver slot.
AIRFOIL ATTACHMENT FOR TURBINE ROTOR
A turbine for a gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a shaft rotatable about a longitudinal axis, a turbine rotor including one or more rows of turbine blades and a disk assembly coupled to the shaft. The disk assembly includes one or more disks each having an attachment region extending radially between an inner boundary and an outer boundary, the outer boundary is established by an outer periphery of the respective disk, the attachment region defines an array of slots distributed about the outer periphery, each of the slots extends radially inwardly from the outer boundary to the inner boundary, and each of the slots is dimensioned to receive a root section of a respective one of the turbine blades to mount the turbine blades to the disk assembly.
Hybrid vane segment with ceramic matrix composite airfoils
A vane assembly for use with a gas turbine engine includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and a plurality of airfoils. The outer wall and the inner wall extend at least partway about an axis. At least one of the airfoils is coupled with the outer end wall and the inner end wall to transmit force loads through the vane assembly.
Rotor assembly with internal vanes
A rotor assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This rotor assembly includes a first rotor disk, a second rotor disk, a plurality of rotor blades and a plurality of vanes. The first rotor disk is configured to rotate about a rotational axis. The first rotor disk is configured from or otherwise includes disk material. The second rotor disk is configured to rotate about the rotational axis. The rotor blades are arranged circumferentially around the rotational axis. Each of the rotor blades is axially between and mounted to the first rotor disk and the second rotor disk. The vanes are arranged circumferentially around the rotational axis and axially between the first rotor disk and the second rotor disk. The vanes include a first vane, which first vane is configured from or otherwise includes vane material that is different than the disk material.
Turbine section of a gas turbine engine with ceramic matrix composite vanes
A turbine section for use in gas turbine engine includes a turbine case, turbine shroud rings, a turbine vane assembly, and a vane mount ring. The vane mount ring couples the turbine vane assembly to the turbine case.
Turbine shroud assembly with multi-piece support for ceramic matrix composite material seal segments
An assembly adapted for use in a gas turbine engine or other engine has a carrier component and a blade track segment. The assembly includes a mounting system for coupling the blade track segment to the carrier component. In an illustrative embodiment, the assembly is a turbine shroud segment for blocking gasses from passing over turbine blades included in the gas turbine engine.
HYBRID VANE SEGMENT WITH CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITE AIRFOILS
A vane assembly for use with a gas turbine engine includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and a plurality of airfoils. The outer wall and the inner wall extend at least partway about an axis. At least one of the airfoils is coupled with the outer end wall and the inner end wall to transmit force loads through the vane assembly.
CMC ARC SEGMENT INTERFACE GAP FLOW BLOCKER
A gas turbine engine includes a plurality of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) arc segments arranged in a row. There is a leak path through which gas from the engine core gas path can bypass an axial section of the engine core gas path. A CMC strip is disposed at the inter-segment interface between CMC arc segments to block the leak path and reduce leakage of the gas.
