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 cooling structure for a turbine airfoil includes: a lattice structure body formed such that a first rib set and a second rib set arranged in a cooling passage are stacked on each other in a lattice pattern; and lattice communication portions that allow passages formed between ribs of the first rib set to communicate with passages formed between ribs of the second rib set. Each of the first and second rib sets has rib walls each including a pair of ribs that are inclined in directions opposite to each other relative to an imaginary boundary line extending in a movement direction of a cooling medium and that are in contact with each other on the imaginary boundary line. A plurality of lattice communication portions are formed between two lattice communication portions at opposite end portions of each rib that forms the rib wall.

A hollow airfoil body includes a baffle that is arranged in the airfoil body that extends in a radial direction and provides a fluid flow direction. The baffle has multiple holes that include first and second holes that are configured to conduct the cooling airflow in a chordwise direction toward the trailing edge of the airfoil body. The airfoil has a first standoff that extends from the airfoil body to support the baffle. The first axial standoff has a first length that defines an axial passage including the multiple holes. The airfoil includes a second standoff that has a second length less than the first length. The second standoff is arranged radially between the first and second holes. The first hole is smaller than the second hole. The second hole is downstream from the first hole relative to the fluid flow direction.

A centrifugal or diagonal impeller has impeller blades (4) that are curved in the circumferential direction about an axis of rotation and are formed from a single-layer sheet metal. Each blade (4) has a suction side (11) and a pressure side (12) as well as a blade leading edge (5) and a blade trailing edge (6). At least the blade leading edge (5) of the impeller blades (4) adjacent to their suction side (11) have a geometric edge modification in the form of a rounding (7) over a predetermined partial length of a blade thickness (SD) of the impeller blades (4).

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.

The impeller of a rotating machine according to at least one embodiment of the present discloser is provided with: a disc; a cover disposed on an opposite side of a radial passage from the disc in an axial direction; and a blade disposed between the disc and the cover. In a dimensionless position along a camber line of the blade when the position of a leading edge of the blade is defined as 0 and the position of a trailing edge of the blade is defined as 1, a position where an angle difference between a first blade angle at a disc-side end portion of the blade and a second blade angle at a cover-side end portion of the blade is maximum is in a range of 0.5 or more and 1 or less. The first blade angle is −10 degrees or more and 0 degrees or less at the position where the angle difference is maximum.

A blade including at least one web and a vane having a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein, for at least one aerofoil of the vane in the vicinity of the web, a maximum sweep angle associated with a position along a chord of the aerofoil extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the vane corresponding to a relative chord length of at least 50%.

A turboprop including a propeller including a blade extending in a direction, which also includes a root, a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a wing tip, and an inner air stream channel, wherein the inner air stream channel includes an inlet located at the root of the blade and an outlet leading to the trailing edge of the blade transversely directed in relation to the main elongation direction, such that an inner stream of air flowing in the inner air stream channel by entering via the inlet adjacent to the root of the blade is discharged via the outlet adjacent to the trailing edge of the blade by forming a stream of blown air that moves away from the trailing edge in a direction which is transverse to the main elongation direction and which has a component in the direction of a skeleton line of the blade at the trailing edge.

A method for manufacturing a propeller for a propeller pump includes providing a base propeller including a hub extending from an axial end in the axial direction, and a plurality of blades fixedly connected to the hub, each blade including a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge, an initial trailing edge, and a blade tip extending from the leading edge to the initial trailing edge at the end of the blade facing away from the hub, trimming each of the blades of the base propeller the axial direction, and forming a modified trailing edge bye removing a part of the initial trailing edge along the entire pressure side from the hub to the blade tip.

An axial-flow fan includes a hub that is to be rotated and defines a rotation axis, and a vane provided on a circumference of the hub. The vane includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, an outer circumferential edge, and an inner circumferential edge. The vane is shaped such that a first line chart in a first diagram includes a downward convex portion that is convex further downward than a first virtual line chart, the first virtual line chart being a linear line connecting a point representing a size of an outlet angle formed at a point of the trailing edge that is at the inner circumferential edge and a point representing a size of the outlet angle formed at a point of the trailing edge that is at the outer circumferential edge.
