  • Strut for a gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 9163510
    Abstract: The strut is for use in a gas turbine engine has body, typically having an airfoil shape, having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The leading edge has at least one gas inlet in direct fluid communication with at least one outlet located in the trailing edge through which gas may be redirected from the leading edge to the trailing edge through the strut for injection back into a wake region downstream of the strut.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2015
    Assignee: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORP.

  • LP turbine vane airfoil profile
    Patent number: 7568890
    Abstract: A single stage low pressure turbine vane includes an airfoil having a profile substantially in accordance with at least an intermediate portion of the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table 2. The X and Y values are distances, which when smoothly connected by an appropriate continuing curve, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form a complete airfoil shape.
