Described is a blade for a high-speed turbine stage of an aircraft gas turbine, in particular of an aircraft engine, the blade including a radially inner blade root, a radially outer shroud, and an airfoil extending between the blade root and the shroud. It is provided that the outer shroud have only a single sealing element, which projects radially from the shroud, in particular only a single sealing fin.

The present invention enables machining to be easily performed and reduces stress concentration on a machined hole that is formed in a cylindrical member. Recesses (2) recessed in the depth direction of a machined hole (1) are formed on circumferential side-portions of the machined hole 1 formed in a cylindrical member (10). In each of the recesses (2), a part of the opening edge is formed to be a circular arc portion (2a) that has a circular arc shape, the bottom is formed to be gradually shallowed by an inclined surface (2c) toward an opened portion (2b) in which the circular arc shape is opened, from a part along the circular arc portion (2a), and the circular arc portion (2a) is disposed toward the machined hole (1).

A blade wheel of a turbomachine, which blade wheel has a multiplicity of blades which are suitable and provided for extending radially in a flow path of the turbomachine, wherein the blades form a blade entry angle and a blade exit angle. Provision is made whereby the blade wheel forms N blocks of blades, where N≥2, wherein the blades of a block have in each case the same blade entry angle and the same blade exit angle, and the blades of at least two mutually adjacent blocks have a different blade entry angle and/or a different blade exit angle. According to a further aspect of the invention, partial gaps that the blades form in relation to an adjacent flow path boundary are varied in mutually adjacent blocks.

A process of forming a turbine engine seal includes the steps of: providing a flat strip of material; roll forming the flat strip of material forming an asymmetric profile in the flat strip of material; coiling the formed asymmetric profile into an overlapping ring shape; cutting the circular shape to a predetermined length; and joining ends of the predetermined length forming the seal. The seal includes at least two peaks that are formed on opposing sides of a gap. The at least two peaks contact opposing sides of a U shaped profile at a zero radius. The asymmetric profile includes a circular shape and the ends are joined.

A seal assembly for a component of a turbomachine and method of assembly thereof is provided. The seal assembly includes at least one mating face positioned adjacent to the component and a seal coupled to the mating face. The seal includes an outer shell defining an interior space; an inner matrix filling the interior space comprising a plurality of unit cells comprising one or more metamaterials, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of unit cells are identical, and wherein the plurality of unit cells are repeated throughout the inner matrix; and one or more support struts extending throughout the inner matrix. The method of building the seal assembly may include selecting a first material for the outer shell and selecting the one or more metamaterials for the inner matrix based on the first material.

An entryway system includes a divided volute turbocharger having variable turbine geometry (VTG). The turbocharger includes a turbine housing, first and second volutes separated by a wall having a first and second tongue, and a turbine housing outlet. The system also includes a turbine wheel disposed in the turbine housing and a vane ring disposed in the turbine housing between the turbine wheel and the volutes. The system includes design modifications of one or more of the VTG components and/or locations of such components to manipulate the aerodynamic forces and/or subsequent mechanical loads in the VTG mechanism of the entryway system to mitigate VTG component wear during normal usage.

An assembly for use in a bearing compartment having an axis includes a bearing outer race configured to be located in the bearing compartment. The assembly further includes at least one annular spring positioned in the bearing outer race and being asymmetric in at least one of the axial direction or the circumferential direction relative to the axis to reduce the likelihood of amplification of vibration experienced by the at least one annular spring.

A variable vane includes a first vane portion and a second vane portion adjacent the first vane portion. The second vane portion includes a trunnion projecting outward from a radial end of the second vane portion. The second vane portion is configured to rotate about a trunnion axis of the trunnion from a first rotational position to a second rotational position.

An aircraft propulsion assembly including a fan shaft which is connected to a turbine shaft by means of a reduction gear. The guiding of the fan shaft is carried out by a first bearing including cylindrical rollers and a second beating including two rows of balls with oblique contact.

A blade wheel of a turbomachine, which blade wheel has a multiplicity of blades which are suitable and provided for extending radially in a flow path of the turbomachine, wherein the blades form a blade entry angle and a blade exit angle. Provision is made whereby the blade wheel forms N blocks of blades, where N≥2, wherein the blades of a block have in each case the same blade entry angle and the same blade exit angle, and the blades of at least two mutually adjacent blocks have a different blade entry angle and/or a different blade exit angle. According to a further aspect of the invention, partial gaps that the blades form in relation to an adjacent flow path boundary are varied in mutually adjacent blocks.
