The disclosure concerns a compressor blade for gas turbine engine. Specifically the blades of the compressor are modified according to predetermined requirements for both aerodynamic stability and fuel economy in multiple planes.

A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine has an airfoil including leading and trailing edges joined by spaced-apart pressure and suction sides to provide an external airfoil surface extending from a platform in a spanwise direction to a tip. The external airfoil surface is formed in substantial conformance with multiple cross-sectional profiles of the airfoil defined by a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in Table 1, the Cartesian coordinates provided by an axial coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, a circumferential coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, and a span location.

An aircraft propulsion system comprises a propulsor an electric motor coupled to the propulsor. The electric motor comprises a surface mounted permanent magnet electric machine comprising a rotor mounted radially inward of a stator. A Motor Diameter Ratio (MDR) is defined as an inner diameter (D.sub.stator,in) of the motor stator in metres divided by an outer diameter (D.sub.stator,out) of the motor stator in metres. The MDR of the electric motor stator is within 10% of the value given by the equation:

[00001]${\mathrm{MDR}=0.83\times (\frac{\mathrm{Torq}ue}{L_{active}}\times \frac{1}{U_{\mathrm{fan},\mathrm{tip}}})}^{0.08}$ where: T is the maximum torque rating of the electric motor in kilonewton metres; L.sub.active is the active length of the motor stator in metres; and U.sub.tip is the tip speed of the propulsor at the maximum rated torque of the electric motor in metres per second.

In the described embodiments, the MDR is less than 1.

An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes a platform section and an airfoil section extending in a spanwise direction from the platform section to a tip portion establishing a tip. The airfoil section has an external wall defining pressure and suction sides extending in a chordwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and the pressure and suction sides are spaced apart in a thickness direction between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The tip portion includes a tip pocket and a tip shelf extending inwardly from the tip. The tip pocket and tip shelf are on opposite sides of a shelf wall.

The present technique presents a blade 1 for a gas turbine 10. The blade 1 includes an airfoil 100 having an airfoil tip part 100a and a pressure side 102 and a suction side 104 meeting at a leading edge 106 and a trailing edge 108 and defining an internal space 100s of the airfoil 100. A squealer tip 80, 90 is arranged at the airfoil tip part 100a. The squealer tip 80, 90 comprises a suction side rail 90. The suction side rail 90 comprises a chamfer part 90x and at least one squealer tip cooling hole 99. The chamfer part 90x comprises a chamfer surface 9. An outlet 99a of the at least one squealer tip cooling hole 99 is disposed at the chamfer surface 9.

An airfoil arrangement for a gas turbine engine may include a support device using a shape memory alloy to support and control the airfoil. The support device may be formed as part of a fan blade. The arrangement may be configured to reduce overall weight and dimensions of the gas turbine engine.

A turbine rotor blade that includes a tip shroud attached to the outboard tip of the airfoil. The tip shroud may include an axially and circumferentially extending planar component in which an inboard surface opposes an outboard surface, and a shroud edge that connects the inboard surface to the outboard surface and defines an outboard profile of the tip shroud. The tip shroud may include a seal rail protruding from the outboard surface of the tip shroud and a cutter tooth disposed on the seal rail. The cutter tooth may be formed as a circumferential section of the seal rail that is axially thickened. The seal rail may further include a leakage gap formed therethrough that is configured to increase a leakage level during operation.

An abradable powder composition is includes a metal component, a lubricant component, and a polymer component. A portion of the metal component is wrapped in the lubricant component to achieve high lubricity and abradability. The abradable powder composition can be used to form an abradable seal coating provided for use in a turbo machinery having a housing and a wheel having multiple blades. The housing houses the wheel which rotates therein. The seal coating is formed on the inner walls of housing adjacent where the wheel blades pass during their rotation. When the wheel is rotated such that, the blades contact the seal coating, it is abraded to form a close fit gap. The abradable seal coating preferably does not produce significant wear of the blade tips or transfer abradable material significantly to the blade tips upon being abraded.

The invention relates to a method for repairing a damaged blade tip of a turbine blade which is armor-plated and provided with a blade coating, of a thermal gas turbine. The method according to the invention comprises the steps of removing a blade tip armor plating of the turbine blade at least in the region of the damaged blade tip and producing a repair surface (12), removing only a part of the blade coating of the turbine blade in the region of the repair surface while preserving a part of the blade coating separated from the repair surface (14), restoring the blade tip reinforcement (20), and restoring the blade coating in the region of the repaired blade tip (22). The invention furthermore relates to a device for carrying out such a method.

A turbomachinery component with a surface that includes a bounded wear coat, the component includes: a body; a contact surface defined by the body; a recess extending into the body and communicating with the contact surface; and a wear coat positioned in the recess.
