Abstract: A guide vane ring and/or a rotor blade ring for a low-pressure turbine of an aircraft gas turbine of a turbofan engine includes a plurality of airfoils disposed consecutively in a direction of rotation. The plurality of airfoils includes a first airfoil and a second airfoil adjacent to the first airfoil in the direction of rotation. The first and second airfoils are disposed relative to each other such that a ratio e/t, viewed in a conical section, results from a smallest free flow cross-section e taken on the pressure side of the first airfoil from its trailing edge to a suction side of the second airfoil, and a pitch t of the airfoils, such that e/t is less than 0.31, (e/t<0.31).

Abstract: A housing for a gas turbine is disclosed. At least one wall element is housed on the housing so as to move, which limits a flow channel of the housing in the radial direction from a rotational axis of a rotor of the gas turbine toward the exterior. The housing includes at least one variably adjustable guide blade which extends through the wall element into the flow channel. The wall element can be moved between a sealing setting, in which the wall element makes contact at least in a partial area of a side of a blade leaf of the guide blade facing toward the wall element, and an open setting, in which the blade leaf and the wall element are spaced some distance apart from one another. A gas turbine as well as a process for operating a gas turbine is also disclosed.

The guide blade includes a blade leaf having a receptacle in which at least one sealing element is arranged, where the sealing element is movable relative to the blade leaf between a sealing setting, in which the sealing element is at least partially moved out of the receptacle, and a storage setting, in which the sealing element is moved back into the receptacle. The guide blade further includes at least one fluid channel by which fluid under pressure can be routed into the receptacle in order to move the sealing element from the storage setting into the sealing setting. An inlet opening of the fluid channel is formed on a pressure-side surface of the blade leaf. A housing as well as a gas turbine having at least one guide blade is also disclosed.

Abstract: A turbo engine, particularly a gas turbine aircraft engine, has compressor components, turbine components, and at least one combustion chamber. At least one support rib is in flow channel between two turbine components, connected one behind the other. Each support rib diverts a flow through the flow channel.
