Abstract: An airfoil assembly for a turbine engine comprising an outer band, an inner band radially spaced inwardly from the outer band to define an annular region, and multiple airfoils circumferentially spaced within the annular region. Each corresponding airfoil of the multiple airfoils can project from a surface at a root and can further include an outer wall defining a pressure side and a suction side. A projection can extend upwardly from the surface on the pressure side and a valley can extend into the surface on the suction side to define a contour in the surface.

Abstract: A turbomachinery engine comprises a ducted fan, a high-pressure compressor, a low-pressure turbine, a gearbox, and a ducted engine correlation parameter (DECP). The DECP is within a range of 0.10-0.25 and is defined as 10*D/GR/NLPT/NHPC, where D is a fan blade tip diameter at a leading edge of the ducted fan measured in feet, GR is a gear ratio of the gearbox, NLPT is a stage count of the low-pressure turbine, and NHPC is a stage count of the high-pressure compressor.

Abstract: A turbomachinery engine includes an unducted rotor assembly, a low-pressure turbine, a low-pressure shaft, a gearbox, and an engine correlation parameter. The unducted rotor assembly includes a plurality of rotor blades arranged in a single row and defining a blade diameter. The gearbox includes an input, an output, and a gear ratio. The input of the gearbox is coupled to the low-pressure shaft (which is coupled to the LPT), and the output of the gearbox is coupled to the unducted rotor assembly. The engine correlation parameter is greater than 0.17 and less than 0.83. The engine correlation parameter equals D/N/GR, where D is the blade tip diameter measured in feet, N is the stage count of the low-pressure turbine, and GR is the gear ratio of the gearbox. The unducted propulsor assembly optionally includes a disk loading within a range of 60-180 HP/ft2 at a takeoff flight condition.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor rotor assembly which directs air at a sufficent pressure and temperature to a compressor rotor bore. The compressor assembly includes a compressor including a plurality of rotors joined with a plurality of couplings. Each of the rotors includes a radially outer rim, a radially inner hub, and a web extending therebetween. The web includes a flange including a plurality of slots which define a plurality of radial vanes that are airfoil-shaped. The vanes effectively deswirl bleed air and re-direct the airflow to a compressor bore.
