Abstract: A gas turbine engine unit (110) for use in a modular power generation system includes an engine package (112) and a mechanical handling system adapted to convey components (114) out of and into the engine package (112). The engine package (112) includes a floor (132), a plurality of side walls (136), and a ceiling (134) that cooperate to define a sheltered space (140) sized to receive a gas turbine engine. The mechanical handling system includes rails (121) adapted to support components (114) conveyed out of and into the sheltered space (140) defined by the engine package (112).

Abstract: A gas turbine engine bladed component, such as a turbine blade, is shown as including a shroud located above a blade portion and a stiffener located above the shroud. The stiffener is generally located in a central interior region of the shroud and includes a raised portion that extends above a top surface of the shroud. In one non-limiting form the stiffener can have a central ridge that is oriented in an axial direction. Seal members can be included in the shroud that can be used to interact with corresponding seal members in static gas turbine engine structure to discourage a flow of fluid. In one form the shroud includes an upturned leading edge portion.
