A sleeve valve includes an inlet port and an outlet port. A sleeve is movable to close flow from the inlet port to the outlet port. The sleeve valve has a sleeve biased to an open position at which it allows flow from the inlet port to the outlet port by a spring. Pressure in a pressure chamber urges the sleeve to a closed position at which it blocks flow from the inlet port to the outlet port. A line pressure conduit communicates the fluid chamber into the pressure chamber. Pressurized air is supplied to the pressure chamber through a selectively closed valve. The selectively closed valve is opened to allow the flow of high pressure air from a pressure source into the pressure chamber to move the sleeve to a closed position. A bleed air system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Flow diverters for installation in mid-turbine frame systems at a conduit outlet of gas turbine engines are described. The flow diverters include a diverter body having a connector portion defining a diverter inlet, a diverter extension at least partially defining a diverter outlet, and a curved portion arranged between the connector portion and the diverter extension, the curved portion configured to change a direction of flow from a first direction to a second direction that is about 90° from the first direction as the flow passes from the diverter inlet to the diverter outlet.

A gas turbine engine comprising: a duct extending about an axis, the duct including an outer-duct wall having an interior-duct surface circumscribing an interior of the duct and an exterior-duct surface radially outward of the interior-duct surface relative to the axis, the outer-duct wall defining an offtake opening extending from the interior-duct surface to the exterior-duct surface, the offtake opening in fluid communication between an offtake location inside the duct and outside the duct, and a bleed air offtake assembly including: an air line in fluid communication with inside the duct via the offtake opening, the air line having a first-line end defining a line inlet proximate to the outer-duct wall and a second-line end spaced from the first-line end; a valve located outside the duct and fluidly connected to the air line via the second-line end, and a conduit having a conduit inlet in fluid communication with inside the air line at a resonance location between the first-line end and the second-line end upstream of the valve, and a conduit outlet in fluid communication with inside the duct at a relief location spaced from the offtake location.

A multi-engine system includes a first gas turbine engine that includes a first compressor and a first turbine. The multi-engine system may further include a second gas turbine engine that has a second compressor and a second turbine. Still further, the multi-engine system may include a first crossover cooling network configured to route a first crossover airflow from the first compressor of the first gas turbine engine to the second turbine of the second gas turbine engine and a second crossover cooling network configured to route a second crossover airflow from the second compressor of the second gas turbine engine to the first turbine of the first gas turbine engine.

An air cycle machine includes an air inlet connected to an air cycle compressor. Air downstream of the air cycle compressor is connected to be delivered across a first turbine. The air cycle compressor is driven by the first turbine through a shaft. Air downstream of the first turbine is connected to a second turbine. The second turbine is connected to deliver air downstream. The second turbine is connected with a second shaft to drive a fan rotor. The fan rotor delivers a source of air across a primary heat exchanger positioned between the inlet and the air cycle compressor. The air cycle compressor and the first turbine are formed of a metal. The second turbine and the fan rotor are formed of non-metallic materials.

A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section. A bleed tap taps air from the compressor section through a bleed valve. The bleed valve is selectively opened by a control to dump air from the compressor section to a dump outlet. A heat exchanger duct includes a duct air inlet to cool a fluid in a heat exchanger and a duct air outlet. The dump outlet is within the heat exchanger duct.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for a variable bleed valve assembly. An example variable bleed valve assembly includes a variable bleed valve (VBV) door corresponding to a bleed port, an intermediary device operatively coupled to the VBV door, and a first actuator operatively coupled to the intermediary device, the first actuator to move between a first position and a second position, the first actuator to cause the intermediary device to move between the first position and the second position to cause the VBV door to move between the first position and the second position.
