Abstract: One aspect of present application provides an intermediate structure in a gas turbine engine. The intermediate structure is positioned between a first component and another component. The first component may be a composite component. The components may be interlocking. The intermediate structure may be load bearing. Also disclosed is a method using the intermediate structure.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine composite vane assembly and method for making same are disclosed. The method includes providing at least two gas turbine engine airfoil composite preform components. The airfoil composite preform components are interlocked with a first locking component so that mating faces of the airfoil composite preform components face each other. A filler material is inserted between the mating surfaces of the airfoil composite preform components.

Abstract: A composite component includes a bonded portion and a component mount. The component mount is coupled to the bonded portion to move relative to the bonded portion. The bonded portion includes a fiber portion and a ceramic portion.

Abstract: One aspect of the present application provides an apparatus comprising a shape operable as a gas turbine engine component, an internal cavity within the shape including a radius, a trench on an external surface of the shape including a rear face tangential to an arc centered on the radius of the internal cavity, and a cooling hole extending from the internal cavity and exiting to the trench through the rear face of the trench wherein a cooling fluid introduced to the internal cavity flows through the cooling hole and into the trench during operation of the gas turbine engine component.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine is disclosed with a turbine section having at least one turbine rotor with a plurality of turbine blades, a plurality of blade tracks positioned circumferentially around the turbine blades, at least one dovetail shaped connecting member extending radially outward from each blade track, and a hanger connected to a structural member of the gas turbine engine and configured to releasably couple with the at least one dovetail shaped connecting member of a corresponding blade track.

Abstract: A holder for a cylindrical game call or other object. A pair of opposed cooperating jaws made of acrylonitrile butadiene stryene or other spring material resiliently hold the call. A member is detachably attachable to a tree trunk or other structure, and the jaws are rotatable relative to said member so that the call may be easily rotated alternately between right-side-up and upside-down positions for making sounds, without the necessity of a hunter having to hold the call.

Abstract: An article may include a substrate defining a surface imperfection and a coating deposited over the substrate. The coating does not substantially reproduce the surface imperfection, and the coating comprises mullite and at least one rare earth silicate, rare earth oxide, alumina, boron oxide, alkali metal oxide, alkali earth metal oxide, silicon, barium strontium aluminosilicate, barium aluminosilicate, strontium aluminosilicate, calcium aluminosilicate, magnesium aluminosilicate, or lithium aluminosilicate. In some examples, the coating may be a first coating deposited from a slurry over the substrate, and a second coating may be deposited over the first coating. In other examples, a first coating that substantially reproduces the surface imperfection may be deposited over the substrate, and the coating that does not substantially reproduce the surface imperfection may be deposited over the first coating.

Abstract: The present invention provides a turbine vane for a gas turbine engine. The turbine vane may include a composite airfoil structure. The composite airfoil structure may have an opening. The turbine vane may include a spar. The spar may have a body, which may be disposed within the opening. A standoff structure may be disposed within the opening. In some non-limiting embodiments, a cooling air gap may be defined between the body and an internal surface of the composite airfoil structure.
