Rotor Balance Weight System
A rotor has a rotor body having: a flange with a circumferential array of discontiguous apertures; and a surface spaced apart from the flange. One or more rotor balance weight assemblies each have a weight and a fastener. The weight has: a passageway having a first end and a second end; an internal thread along the passageway; and a boss at the first end of the passageway. The boss is in a respective one of the apertures. The fastener has: a shank having a first end and a second end and an external thread engaged to the passageway internal thread; an engagement feature at the shank first end for engagement by a tool to turn the fastener; and a head at the second end contacts the surface.
TEXTURED SUBSURFACE COATING SEGMENTATION
The disclosure describes an article and a method of making the same that includes a substrate defining an outer surface, a bond coat on the outer surface of the substrate, the bond coat defining a textured surface having a plurality of cells, each cell having a geometry and a depth, where the depth of a respective cell is different than the depth of at least one adjacent cell, and a coating formed on the textured surface of the bond coat.
Heat-exchange and noise-reduction panel for a propulsion assembly
Heat-exchange and noise-reduction panel for a propulsion assembly, in particular for an aircraft, the panel comprising: a perforated plate comprising a plurality of through-openings; a cellular structure comprising longitudinally oriented structural walls covered by said perforated plate and comprising, between said walls, cavities that define Helmholtz resonators, said through-openings forming necks of said resonators; and means for the circulation of fluid, for example oil, at said perforated plate, wherein said fluid circulation means comprise channels that are formed at least in part in thickened ends of said walls on the same side as said perforated plate, and/or at least in part in regions of the perforated plate situated in the longitudinal extension of said thickened ends.
GAS TURBINE BLADE
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).
Turbine disk with pinned platforms
A blade assembly for use in a gas turbine engine. The blade assembly includes a blade, a platform distinct from the blade and configured to extend around the blade, and a pin that couples the platform with the blade.
CONTROLLING EXTENT OF TBC SHEET SPALL
A method of controlling an extent of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) sheet spall and a hot gas path (HGP) component are disclosed. The method provides an HGP component having a body with an exterior surface. Controlling the extent of the TBC sheet spall includes forming a TBC over a selected portion of the exterior surface of the body. The TBC includes a plurality of segments in a cellular pattern. Each segment is defined by one or more slots in the TBC, and each segment has a predefined area such that the extent of the TBC sheet spall is limited by the predefined area of each of the plurality of segments that constitute the TBC sheet spall.

CMC HONEYCOMB BASE FOR ABRADABLE COATING ON CMC BOAS
A method of forming a blade outer air seal includes applying a cavity layer that has a plurality of cavities to a radially inner side of a seal body. The cavity layer is coated with an abradable coating.
Method of optimizing and customizing rotor blade structural properties by tailoring large cell composite core and a rotor blade incorporating the same
An airfoil member can have a root end, a tip end, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The airfoil member can include an upper skin, a lower skin, and a composite core member having a plurality of cells, an upper surface network of the cells can be bonded to the upper skin, a lower surface network of the cells can be bonded to the lower skin. The composite core can have a septum layer embedded in the cells that form the composite core, the septum layer being configured to provide tailored characteristics of the airfoil member.
Gas turbine engine component with degradation cooling scheme
A gas turbine engine component includes a passage and a wall adjacent the passage. The wall includes a first side bordering the passage and a second side opposite the first side. The second side includes an array of cells. The wall also includes an array of channels. Each of the channels is located proximate a corresponding one of the cells. A coating is disposed over the cells. When the coating degrades the channels open to permit impingement air flow through the channel onto sidewalls of the cells.
