  • Aircraft component qualification system and process
    Patent number: 11755791
    Abstract: A qualification system for gas turbine engine components includes a computer system configured to receive a set of measured parameters for each gas turbine engine component in a plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, and determine a variation model based on the set of measured parameters. The computer system includes at least one simulated engine model configured to determine a predicted operation of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, a correlation system configured to correlate variations in the set of parameters for each of the gas turbine engine components with a set of the predicted operations of each gas turbine engine, thereby generating a predictive model based on the variations. The computer system also includes a qualification module configured to generate a qualification formula based on the predictive model.

  • STATIC GUIDE VANE WITH INTERNAL HOLLOW CHANNELS
    Publication number: 20150252679
    Abstract: A static guide vane for use in a fan section of a gas turbine engine includes an outer platform and an inner platform. The inner and outer platforms are connected by an airfoil. The airfoil have channels extending into a main body of the airfoil to reduce the weight of the vane. A cover closes off the channels with the cover providing a portion of the airfoil.
