Abstract: An attachment mechanism for a gas turbine engine component includes an elongated body having at least first and second ends. A first attachment feature is formed at the first end. A second attachment feature is formed at the second end. The first and second attachment features define attachment points configured to attach a first gas turbine engine component to a second gas turbine engine component. A fan section for a gas turbine engine and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.

Abstract: A thermal barrier attachment seal for a gas turbine engine component includes a spine having a first surface and a second surface facing opposite the first surface. A first layer of insulation is provided on the first surface. A second layer of insulation is provided on the second surface to provide a thermal barrier seal between a first gas turbine engine component and a second gas turbine engine component. A fan section for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for thermal seals are described herein. A thermal seal may comprise a first metallic plate having a first inner surface and a first outer surface, a second metallic plate having a second inner surface and a second outer surface, the second metallic plate being oriented substantially parallel to the first metallic plate such that the first inner surface and the second inner surface are separated by a gap, and a thermal wool having a plate portion in contact with the first inner surface and the second inner surface, the plate portion filling a void between the first inner surface and the second inner surface, and having a shoulder portion extending from a perimeter of the plate portion, the shoulder portion extending outward from between the first metallic plate and the second metallic plate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for thermal washers are described herein. A thermal washer may comprise a first metallic plate having a first inner surface and a first outer surface, a second metallic plate having a second inner surface and a second outer surface, the second metallic plate being oriented substantially parallel to the first metallic plate such that the first inner surface and the second inner surface are separated by a gap, and a thermal wool in contact with the first inner surface and the second inner surface, the thermal wool filling a void between the first inner surface and the second inner surface. A width of the thermal wool may be substantially equal to a width of the first metallic plate and a length of the thermal wool may be substantially equal to a length of the first metallic plate.
