Abstract: An improved film damper oil delivery pathway from an oil reservoir to a thin film fluidic damper is provided. An oil supply tube may be configured to mate to a bearing outer race. The bearing outer race may comprise internal oil flow circuit(s) configured to supply oil from the oil tube to the thin film damper for improved bearing compartment designs.

Abstract: A seal runner may have an inner annular member, an outer annular member, and a radial wall member joined to the inner annular member according to an angle and extending from the inner annular member to the outer annular member. The seal runner may be positioned axially along a shaft and a bearing may be positioned axially along the shaft such that it is radially between the inner annular member and the outer annular member. In this regard, the seal runner may resemble a “C-shape.” A seal may interface with a seal land radially outboard of the outer annular member. Thus, the seal may be positioned axially near to the bearing so that the axial length of a shaft and accompanying bearing compartment hardware may be minimized.

Abstract: Oil slinger systems include a seal runner comprising an annular radial member having a radius (R) and an outer axially extending member having an axial length (L) such that a ratio (L/R) is between 0.8 and 1.4, the annular radial member disposed at a first angle with respect to the outer axially extending member, a heat shield in mechanical communication with the seal runner, and a volume bounded by an outer face of the annular radial member and an inner face of the heat shield. Methods of radial convective cooling include pumping a cooling liquid through the oil slinger system and convectively cooling the oil slinger.

Abstract: A shaft interlock system may have an a interlocking piston that translates a movable locking apparatus configured to interface with a turbine shaft having a fixed locking apparatus. The movable locking apparatus may engage and disengage the fixed locking apparatus. When the movable locking apparatus is engaged with the fixed locking apparatus, the turbine shaft is only able to turn in one direction. When the movable locking apparatus is disengaged from the fixed locking apparatus, the turbine shaft is able to turn in both directions. In this way, a turbine shaft can be prevented from reverse rotation.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a service line interface that extends from an outer surface of a bearing support such that a heat shield is spaced from the outer surface. A method of mounting a heat shield to a gas turbine engine includes trapping a heat shield within a gapped overlap spaced from an outer surface of a bearing support.

Abstract: A component for a gas turbine engine includes a compartment housing that redirects oil from at least one passage in a rotational component onto a backside of a seal land.

Abstract: A flange arrangement for a gas turbine engine includes a case flange between a forward flange and an aft flange.

Abstract: An attachment interface assembly for a gas turbine engine has a component configured for attachment to an engine static structure. A fastener has a threaded body portion and an enlarged head portion. The threaded body portion is inserted through aligned holes in the component and engine static structure. A clip has a center opening that receives the threaded body portion such that the clip is positioned between the enlarged head portion and the component.

Abstract: A turbine engine component has a flow path wall and a support wall. The turbine engine component has at least one cooling compact heat exchanger. Each cooling compact heat exchanger has a pedestal array and at least one structural member within the pedestal array for preventing modal crossing in operation range, for preventing panel bulging, and/or for connecting the flow path wall to at least one outer diameter support structure.

Abstract: An annular spring for a bearing assembly of gas turbine engine is provided. The annular spring includes a multiple of ligaments between an inner support and an outer support.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a dual oil supply tube for a gas turbine engine. The dual oil supply tube locates a scheduled damper supply tube inside a compartment oil supply tube which remains full while the engine is operating.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine static structure has a joint that includes at least two flanges. The first flange includes a face extending axially proud between radially spaced apart undercuts. The second flange abuts the face. Fasteners secure the flanges to one another through the face.
