A gas turbine engine includes a case, a stator vane, and a retainer. The case has a first surface, a second surface, a third surface extending between the first surface and the second surface, and a hook extending from the second surface and disposed opposite the third surface. The stator vane includes a shroud body and a first flange. The retainer is arranged to seat the first flange within a first slot defined between the hook and the second surface and secure the shroud body to the case.

A method for fabricating a ceramic matrix composite component having a deltoid region is provided. The method includes providing a porous ceramic preform. The porous ceramic preform includes a layer-to-layer weave of ceramic fibers that forms a modified layer-to-layer woven core and at least one 2-dimensional layer of ceramic fibers that is disposed adjacent to the modified layer-to-layer woven core. The porous ceramic preform is formed into a ceramic matrix composite body having the deltoid region such that the modified layer-to-layer woven core extends through the deltoid region.

A seal system for a gas turbine engine includes a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) seal arc segment and a carrier supporting the CMC seal arc segment. The CMC seal arc segment defines radially inner and outer sides and has an abradable layer disposed on the radially outer side. There is a cooling cavity radially between the carrier and the abradable layer. The carrier includes a ridge that projects into a groove in the abradable layer and provides a labyrinth seal that partitions the cooling cavity into sub-cavities.

A turbomachine blade formed of a hollow airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge opposed to each other and connected by an intrados wall and an extrados wall each extending along a radial axis of the blade, between a blade root and a blade tip, and including a cooling circuit supplied with air and delivering air jets ensuring through multiple perforations of the cooling circuit an impingement cooling of the inner surface of the airfoil, the cooling circuit includes superimposed cooling channels over the height of the blade, each integrated into the inner surface of the airfoil while matching its contour, the multiple perforations being drilled in the cooling channels terminating in a purge cavity of the airfoil are able to ensure a purge of the air having impinged the inner surface of the airfoil after its passage through the perforations.

Disclosed herein is a gas turbine blade. The gas turbine blade includes a turbine blade (33) provided in a turbine, and film cooling elements (100), each including a cooling channel (110) for cooling of the turbine blade (33), an outlet (120) through which cooling air is discharged, and a plurality of ribs (130), wherein the outlet (120) extends from a longitudinally extended end of the cooling channel (110) to an outer surface of the turbine blade (33) and has a width increased from one end of the cooling channel (110) to the outer surface of the turbine blade (33), and the ribs (130) face each other on inner walls of the outlet (120).

A cover plate for maintaining axial alignment between a blade assembly and a rotor disk and transferring centrifugal loading directly to the rotor disk. The cover plate comprises a plate key extending axially from an elongate member, the plate key configured to engage a keyway of the rotor disk assembly and/or a notch of the blade key.

An intershaft seal assembly for maintaining separation between a piston ring and a pair of mating rings is presented. The assembly includes a piston ring interposed between forward and aft mating rings and a plurality of hydrodynamic grooves disposed along a sealing face of each mating ring. Each hydrodynamic groove further includes at least two adjoining steps wherein each step is defined by a base wall arranged to decrease depthwise in the direction opposite to rotation of an inner shaft. Two adjoining base walls define a base shoulder which locally redirects potion of a longitudinal flow within the groove to form an outward flow in the direction of the piston ring. Base walls are bounded by and intersect a pair of side walls with at least one side shoulder thereon which narrows the groove widthwise and locally redirects portion of the longitudinal flow to form a lateral flow from one side wall toward another side wall. Outward and lateral flows cooperate, with or without the longitudinal flow, to increase fluid pressure and maintain separation between the piston ring and the mating rings.

Disclosed are a blade ring segment for a turbine section, a turbine section having the blade ring segment, and a gas turbine having the turbine section. Multiple blade ring segments is installed in a turbine casing accommodating turbine blades rotated by combustion gas from a combustor. The blade ring segment includes an inner panel provided in the turbine casing and having multiple air holes through which cooling air fed from the outside of the turbine casing flows, an outer panel disposed on one side of the inner panel, and a cooling structure protruding from one side of the outer panel so as to form a flowing channel in a zigzag pattern so that cooling air fed through the air holes flows therethrough.

The invention relates to an assembly of turbine engine (50) parts having a longitudinal axis (X), the assembly comprising at least two adjacent fan blades made of a 3D woven composite material, each blade (1) comprising a root (3), a vane (2) extending from the root (3), and an integrated platform (4) inserted between the root (3) and the vane (2), the platform (4) extending on either side of the vane (2) and forming a pressure face platform portion (4I) and a suction face platform portion (4E), the pressure face and suction face platform portions of adjacent blades being connected by a fin (14) extending at least radially at the outer side of the pressure face and suction face platform portions (4I, 4E), relative to the longitudinal axis (X), having a substantially triangular transverse cross section and extending axially and so as to upper overlap the longitudinal edges (11A, 11B) of the pressure face and suction face platform portions (4I, 4E) of the adjacent blades.

An airfoil for a turbine engine includes an array of features positioned in an interior portion of the airfoil. Each feature extends from a pressure side to a suction side. The array includes multiple radial rows (A-N) of features with the features in each row (A-N) being interspaced radially to define coolant passages therebetween. The radial rows (A-N) are spaced along a forward-to-aft direction toward an airfoil trailing edge. The coolant passages of the array are fluidically interconnected to lead a pressurized coolant toward the trailing edge via a serial impingement on to the rows of features. The coolant passages are geometrically configured to bias a coolant flow therethrough toward a first side in relation to a second side of the outer wall to effect a greater cooling of the first side than the second side.
