  • Publication number: 20200217247
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprising: an engine core; an annular flow passage arranged around the engine core; and a bifurcation extending below the engine core and having a length dimension spanning the annular flow passage. The bifurcation comprises a housing that houses a conduit. The conduit has an inlet at an engine core end of the bifurcation and extends along the length of the bifurcation. The conduit comprises a fire-resistant material and is configured to drain fluid from the engine core and through the bifurcation to an outlet.

  • Publication number: 20200141274
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft is provided. The engine includes an engine core comprising a turbine, a compressor, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor. The engine further includes core casings surrounding the engine core. The engine further includes an aerodynamic cowl which surrounds the core casings. The engine further includes a propulsive fan located upstream of the engine core, the fan generating a core airflow which enters the core engine and a bypass airflow which enters a bypass duct surrounding the aerodynamic cowl. The engine further includes one or more engine accessories mounted in a space between the core casings and the aerodynamic cowl.

  • Publication number: 20200025035
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft is provided. The gas turbine engine comprises an engine core comprising a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor. The gas turbine engine further comprises a fan located upstream of the engine core, the fan comprising a plurality of fan blades, the fan generating a core airflow which enters the engine core and a bypass airflow which flows through a bypass duct surrounding the engine core. The gas turbine engine further comprises a circumferential row of outer guide vanes located in the bypass duct rearwards of the fan, the outer guide vanes extending radially outwardly from an inner ring which defines a radially inner surface of the bypass duct.
