Structural panel with integrated coupler
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a cowl door movable between a closed position and an open position. The cowl door includes a structural panel and a mount. The structural panel includes an inner skin, an outer skin and a cellular core. The cellular core is connected to and arranged between the inner skin and the outer skin. The mount includes a base and a coupler. The base is connected to and arranged between the inner skin and the outer skin. The coupler projects out from the base.
Rotating body, turbocharger, and rotating body manufacturing method
Provided is a rotating body, including: a shaft; and a compressor impeller including: a main body having an insertion hole, which extends from one end to another end side and is configured to receive the shaft inserted therethrough; a boss portion formed at one end side of the main body; and a joint portion, which is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole at the boss portion and is welded to the shaft.
BI-MATERIAL JOINT FOR ENGINE
An engine bi-material joint includes a first flange composed of a first material and defining a first coefficient of thermal expansion, and a second flange composed of a second material and defining a second coefficient of thermal expansion. The second flange is different from the first material. An interface flange is engaged with the first flange and with the second flange. The interface flange defines a third coefficient of thermal expansion being equal to or less than the first coefficient of thermal expansion of the first flange. The third coefficient of thermal expansion is less than the second coefficient of thermal expansion of the second flange. The first coefficient of thermal expansion of the first flange is less than the second coefficient of thermal expansion of the second flange.
Ceramic matrix composite vane assembly with compliance features
A vane assembly includes a vane that includes an outer platform, an inner platform, and an airfoil. The outer platform defines an outer boundary of a gas path. The inner platform is spaced apart radially from the outer platform relative to an axis and defines an inner boundary of the gas path. The airfoil extends radially between and interconnects the outer platform and the inner platform.
Turbomachine with housing control surfaces for aligning air bearing components
A turbomachine includes a first housing member having a first journal bearing portion and a first radial control surface. The turbomachine also includes a second housing member with a second journal bearing portion and a second radial control surface. The second radial control surface has an interference fit with the first radial control surface that radially aligns the second journal bearing portion and the first journal bearing portion along a common axis.
Two-piece baffle
An airfoil vane includes an airfoil section which includes an outer wall that defines an internal cavity. A baffle is situated in the internal cavity. The baffle includes a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion which is bonded to the leading edge portion at a joint. The leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion define an internal cavity therewithin. Both the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion include a plurality of cooling holes which are configured to provide cooling air to the airfoil outer wall. The trailing edge portion is formed of sheet metal and the leading edge portion is formed of non-sheet-metal. A method of making a baffle for a vane arc segment and a method of assembling a ceramic matrix composite airfoil vane are also disclosed.
Assembly for a turbomachine turbine and associated turbomachine
An assembly for a turbomachine turbine includes at least one ring sector made of CMC material and a support casing including an upstream flange and a downstream flange between which each ring sector is disposed, each ring sector including a base that has a radially external face from which radially extend two lugs, the lugs of each ring sector being retained between the two flanges of the support casing by axial pins each engaged in one of the flanges of the ring support casing and in the lug of the ring sector facing said flange, the assembly further including, for each ring sector, at least one radial retaining pin screwed into the support casing and coming to radially bear against a lug of the at least one ring sector to retain it in position, and anti-rotation system for rotationally locking the radial retaining pin.
TWO-PIECE BAFFLE
An airfoil vane includes an airfoil section which includes an outer wall that defines an internal cavity. A baffle is situated in the internal cavity. The baffle includes a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion which is bonded to the leading edge portion at a joint. The leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion define an internal cavity therewithin. Both the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion include a plurality of cooling holes which are configured to provide cooling air to the airfoil outer wall. The trailing edge portion is formed of sheet metal and the leading edge portion is formed of non-sheet-metal. A method of making a baffle for a vane arc segment and a method of assembling a ceramic matrix composite airfoil vane are also disclosed.
Compressor
A compressor has a rotor. The rotor includes a plurality of impellers that include a disk having a solid structure having a buried center, and are adjacent to each other in an axial direction, and a plurality of bolts for fixing the plurality of impellers together. The disk has a disk surface facing the axial direction and a bolt hole penetrating the disk at a position deviated outward from an axis in a radial direction. The disk surface includes a contact surface of which at least a part is located outside the bolt hole in the radial direction, and a non-contact surface which is a region inside the contact surface in the radial direction.
Turbocharger assembly
A turbocharger includes a center housing that includes a through bore and a stepped locating pin socket that includes a stop surface; a bearing disposed in the through bore where the bearing includes an opening; and a stepped locating pin where the stepped locating pin includes a pin portion received in part by the opening of the bearing and a seating portion secured via an interference fit in the stepped locating pin socket where a maximum radius of the seating portion exceeds a maximum radius of the pin portion and where the stepped locating pin includes a stop surface that contacts the stop surface of the stepped locating pin socket to axially position the stepped locating pin in the stepped locating pin socket.
