The thermal dam has a second diameter extending radially from the shaft. Moreover, the second diameter of the thermal dam is between 1.1 and 1.2 times greater than the first diameter of the turbine wheel.

According to an embodiment, a turbine casing comprises a cooling air supply unit configured to supply a cooling air to an interior space of a casing of a gas turbine, and the cooling air supply unit includes: a first supply unit disposed in an upper half of the casing so as to face a first region and configured to supply the cooling air to the first region, where the first region is a region on a radially outer side of a plurality of combustors arranged annularly around a rotor; and a second supply unit disposed so as to face a second region and configured to supply the cooling air to the second region, where the second region is a region on a radially inner side of the plurality of combustors.

A turbine rotor wheel for an aircraft turbomachine includes a rotor disk, an annular shroud extending around the disk, and blades arranged between the disk and the shroud. The root of each of the blades has two tabs configured for attachment to the disk. The tabs are arranged upstream and downstream, respectively, of a wall of the disk, relative to the axis. The tab arranged upstream is engaged in a first recess of the disk and configured to cooperate by abutment with a peripheral edge of the first recess. The tab arranged downstream is engaged in a second recess of the disk and is configured to cooperate by abutment with a peripheral edge of the second recess.

The thermal blanket can be used for shielding an engine component. The thermal blanket has a window providing visual access to the engine component. The thermal blanket can have a non-transparent portion having an opening extending across the thickness of the non-transparent portion, the opening delimited by an internal edge of the non-transparent portion, and a transparent portion of transparent material in the opening, the transparent portion secured to the internal edge of the non-transparent portion.

In the turbine of a gas turbine engine, disk cavities exist between rotor and stator assemblies. These disk cavities enable hot gas from the hot gas flow path to ingress between the rotor and stator assemblies with detrimental effects to the durability of the turbine. Thus, a flow discourager is disclosed that can be integrated into the platform of a stator assembly that is downstream from a rotor assembly. The flow discourager comprises a continuous external surface that defines a recirculation zone within a disk cavity that is aft to a rotor assembly to circulate the hot gas back out into the hot gas flow path.

A blade outer air seal includes a blade outer air seal body having a radially inward facing web to be centered on a rotational axis of an associated engine. The blade outer air seal has a leading edge and a trailing edge and there is a leading edge mount hook and a trailing edge mount hook. A cooling air inlet in the leading edge mount hook communicates with a source of cooling air. The web is intermediate the leading edge mount hook and the trailing edge mount hook and the cooling air inlet communicating with a cooling air circuit in the web. Air passes from the leading edge toward the trailing edge and then to an outlet extending radially outwardly and into a central chamber defined between the leading edge mount hook and the trailing edge mount hook. The outlet is upstream of the trailing edge mount hook.

A turbomachine includes a housing and a rotating group that is supported for rotation about an axis of rotation within the housing. The turbomachine also includes a turbomachine stage including a wheel of the rotating group supported within a turbomachine housing of the housing. The turbomachine further includes an e-machine section including an e-machine that is housed within an e-machine housing of the housing. The e-machine is operably coupled to the rotating group and configured to operate as at least one of a motor and a generator. Moreover, the turbomachine includes an integrated controller that extends in a circumferential direction about the axis of rotation. The integrated controller is configured for controlling the e-machine. Additionally, the turbomachine includes a thermally decoupled fastener arrangement that attaches the integrated controller to the e-machine housing. The fastener arrangement thermally decouples the integrated controller from the turbomachine stage.

A heat shield includes a first wall defined between a first end and a second end; a second wall defined between the first end and the second end, the second wall connected to the first wall at the first and second ends; a space defined between the first wall and the second wall; and thermal insulation disposed in the space. A gas turbine engine and a method of installing a heat shield in a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.

A coolable component for a streaming engine providing an improved cooling, wherein the coolable component includes an outer wall providing an outer surface adapted to be in contact with a hot fluid like a hot gas stream used in the streaming engine or to be coated with a coating that is adapted to be in contact with the hot fluid, wherein the outer surface is at least partially curved. The coolable component includes at least one cooling channel inside the outer wall adapted to guide a cooling fluid through the cooling channel to cool the outer wall during operation of the streaming engine, wherein the cooling channel is adapted to provide a convection cooling of the outer surface.

A vane arc segment includes an airfoil fairing that has a fairing platform and a hollow airfoil section that extends there from. The hollow airfoil section defines an airfoil profile and surrounds an internal cavity. The fairing platform defines a gaspath side and a non-gaspath side. The airfoil fairing is formed of a fiber-reinforced composite comprised of fiber plies. The fiber plies include at least one cavity fiber ply that is arranged as a tube that circumscribes the internal cavity. The at least one cavity fiber ply extends through the fairing platform and defines at least a portion of an upstanding collar on the non-gaspath side of the fairing platform. The upstanding collar defines a collar profile. The tube necks down through a neck portion such that at least a portion of the collar profile is narrower than the airfoil profile.
