Abstract: A turbine engine includes a fan section that rotates about a longitudinal axis and a compressor section. The turbine engine also includes a fan exit stator located between the fan section and the compressor section, the fan exit stator including an airfoil. The airfoil defines an entrance angle with respect to a leading edge of the airfoil and a line parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the airfoil defines an exit angle with respect to a trailing edge of the airfoil and a line parallel to the longitudinal axis. A difference between the entrance angle and the exit angle is between about 45° and about 65°. The turbine engine also includes a turbine section, and a portion of the compressor section is driven by a portion of the turbine section.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a spool, a turbine coupled to drive the spool, a propulsor coupled to be rotated about an axis by the turbine through the spool, and a gear assembly coupled between the propulsor and the spool such that rotation of the turbine drives the propulsor at a different speed than the spool. The propulsor includes a hub and a row of propulsor blades that extend from the hub. Each of the propulsor blades has a span between a root at the hub and a tip, and a chord between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The chord forms a stagger angle ? with the axis, and the stagger angle ? is less than 15° at a position along the propulsor blade that is within an inboard 20% of the span.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a spool, a turbine coupled to drive the spool and a propulsor that is coupled to be driven by the turbine through the spool. A gear assembly is coupled between the propulsor and the spool such that rotation of the spool drives the propulsor at a different speed than the spool. The propulsor includes a hub and a row of propulsor blades that extends from the hub. The row includes no more than 16 of the propulsor blades.

Abstract: An example variable stator vane assembly includes at least one button, a vane airfoil adjacent to the button, and a fillet defined between the button and the airfoil. In one example, the fillet defines a constant radius and extends beyond the button at least greater than a distance of 60% of a length of an overhang portion of the vane airfoil.
