A press fit is provided between the support element and the inner housing, in order to center the inner housing at the support element.

Frame connection between fan case and core housing in a gas turbine engine

A gear reduction reduces a speed of a fan rotor relative to a speed of a fan drive turbine. A fan case surrounds the fan rotor. A core engine has a compressor section and includes a low pressure compressor. The fan rotor delivers air into a bypass duct defined between the fan case and the core engine. A rigid connection between the fan case and the core engine includes a plurality of aft connecting members rigidly connected to the fan case, and to the core engine. A plurality of fan exit guide vanes are rigidly connected to the fan case, with the fan exit guide vanes including structural fan exit guide vanes which are rigidly connected to the core engine, and non-structural fan exit guide vanes, and the non-structural fan exit guide vanes being provided with an acoustic feature to reduce noise.

Containment system for gas turbine engine

A containment system for a gas turbine engine includes an outer containment ring having a first projection that extends radially inward and an inner containment ring having at least a second projection that extends radially outward toward the outer containment ring. The second projection is offset and spaced apart from the first projection to define a chamber in a first state. The containment system includes a lattice defined within the chamber that spans the chamber, and the lattice is integrally formed with each of the outer containment ring and the inner containment ring. A density of the lattice varies in at least one of an axial direction and a radial direction. The second projection is configured to interlock with the first projection in a second state.

A turbojet engine with two thrust reverser modules. Each module includes an outer casing, an inner casing and a securing system for securing the inner casing to the outer casing which comprises first and second hoods. A housing between the hoods has a securing wall, a seal with a sausage secured to the securing wall, and a crusher rigidly secured to the second hood and arranged so as to crush the sausage towards the securing wall when the second hood goes from the spaced-apart position to the close-together position. Therefore, the sausage moves in the longitudinal direction, thus limiting shearing of the seal and transverse movements owing to the manufacturing and assembly tolerances and the movements in flight.

Connector and an anti thermal mismatch connecting device

The rod part of the connector comprises a subtractive hollow section and a cylindrical section. The subtractive hollow section is composed of a central shaft, a plurality of supporting rib plates extending outwards from a peripheral surface of the central shaft and inclined radially relative to the central shaft, and a plurality of outer annular plates arranged around the central shaft, with a circumferential gap between adjacent outer annular plates. The supporting rib plate is connected with the central shaft and the outer annular plate, and the central shaft is connected with the cylindrical section. The anti thermal mismatch connecting device the connector.

Systems and methods of protecting metallic engine components from corrosion

Methods of protecting a metallic substrate from corrosion include introducing an aqueous or powder-form composition including at least one corrosion inhibitor into a crevice that traverses one or more layers covering the metallic substrate to deliver the composition via the crevice into contact with a surface of the metallic substrate. The corrosion inhibitors present in the composition bond to the surface of the metallic substrate, resulting in formation of a film on the surface of the metallic substrate. This film protects the surface of the metallic substrate against corrosion.
