  • Publication number: 20240003262
    Abstract: A probe shielding arrangement comprises a sleeve having a radially inner end mounted to a turbine housing and a radially outer end floatingly received in a probe boss on an exhaust case. The sleeve circumscribes an annular cavity around the probe. The annular cavity is sealed at opposed ends thereof to form a dead air cavity around the probe for insulation purposes.

  • Publication number: 20230406525
    Abstract: An aircraft has an exhaust duct assembly disposed in a low-pressure turbine portion of a gas turbine engine to discharge exhaust gas to the outside and includes a duct having an inlet through which an exhaust gas is introduced, an exhaust portion through which the exhaust gas is exhausted, and a mounting bore formed therethrough; a duct housing in which the duct is disposed therein, and including a mounting hole into which the exhaust portion is inserted; a shaft housing disposed inside the mounting bore, inserted into the duct housing so that one end thereof faces the inlet of the duct, and having a driving axis of the low-pressure turbine portion disposed therein; and a sealing portion having a ring shape, being coupled to one end of the shaft housing, and maintaining airtightness between the driving axis and the shaft housing.

  • Publication number: 20230340890
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for a gas turbine engine. This apparatus includes a gas turbine engine case extending axially along and circumferentially around an axis. The gas turbine engine case includes a sheet of metal wrapped multiple times around the axis to form a containment structure having a multi-layered configuration. The containment structure is configured to contain at least one of a blade or a blade fragment from a bladed rotor of the gas turbine engine within the at least one of a plurality of sections.

  • Patent number: 11365645
    Abstract: A turbine shroud segment for a gas turbine engine having an annular gas path extending about an engine axis. The engine has a turbine rotor mounted for rotation about the axis and having a plurality of blades extending into the gas path. The turbine shroud segment includes a body extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge and circumferentially between a first and second lateral edges. The body has a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface. The radially outer surface includes a textured surface exposed to a cooling flow. The radially inner surface defines an outer flow boundary surface of the gas path next to a tip of one of the blades. A cooling flow passageway is defined in the body and extends axially between one or more cooling inlets receiving the cooling flow from the textured surface and one or more cooling outlets.
