AIRCRAFT TURBOMACHINE CASING AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME
The invention relates to a casing (3) of an aircraft turbomachine, said casing comprising:—an annular shell (9) extending around an axis A and made of a composite material comprising fibres which are woven and embedded in a resin,—an annular layer (4) made of abradable material extending inside the shell, around axis A, and obtained by spreading and polymerising a paste, and—support panels (10) which extend around axis A and are interposed between the shell and the abradable layer.
Turbine engine fan track liner with outer flange case mounting
A fan case assembly is adapted to extend around blades of a fan rotor included in a gas turbine engine. The fan case assembly includes an annular case that extends around an axis, a fan track liner coupled to the annular case and extending circumferentially at least partway about the axis, and a bolting arrangement that couples the fan track liner to the annular case.
TURBINE ENGINE WITH INTERLOCKING SEAL
A turbine engine with an outer rotor that circumscribes an inner rotor. The outer rotor includes circumferentially arranged components with a radial outer end and radial inner end. Inner ends of confronting sides of adjacent components include at least one damper element to dampen the relative motion of the components or to provide at least a partial seal between adjacent components.
System and method for manufacture of abrasive coating
A component for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil section including a free end and an abrasive coating sprayed onto the free end, the abrasive coating including a polymer matrix and an abrasive filler, the abrasive filler between about 50%-75% by volume of the abrasive coating.
