Abstract: A piston seal assembly includes a ring and a seal. The ring includes a ring body. The ring body extends circumferentially about a centerline axis. The ring body extends circumferentially between a first circumferential ring end and a second circumferential ring end. The ring body forms a ring end gap between the first circumferential ring end and the second circumferential ring end. The seal includes a seal body. The seal body extends circumferentially about the centerline axis. The seal body extends circumferentially between a first circumferential seal end and a second circumferential seal end. The seal body forms a seal end gap between the first circumferential seal end and the second circumferential seal end. The ring body and the seal body form an anti-rotation feature of the piston seal assembly. The anti-rotation feature configured to limit relative circumferential movement between the ring body and the seal body.

Abstract: The relative position and orientation between an auxiliary gearbox and a casing of an aircraft engine can be set including engaging a localizing feature of the accessory gearbox with a localizing feature of the casing; and a load path between auxiliary gearbox can subsequently be defined including securing at least two brackets between the accessory gearbox and casing.

Abstract: The gas turbine engine can have a casing, a rotor rotatable around a rotation axis relative the casing, the casing extending along and around the rotation axis, a first component mounted externally to the casing by a first mount, the first mount defining a torsion axis extending along a vertical radial orientation normal the rotation axis, the first component having a center of gravity located on a first side relative the torsion axis, a second component mounted externally to the casing on the second side, extending along the vertical radial orientation from a bottom portion to a top portion, a second mount structurally connecting the bottom portion to the casing, and a structure connecting the top portion to the first component on the second side relative the torsion axis.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring a temperature of a gas turbine engine are described. The method comprises obtaining individual sensor readings from functioning temperature sensors of a sensor array, where a number of the functioning temperature sensors is less than a total number of temperature sensors in the sensor array; applying correction factors to the individual sensor readings of the functioning temperature sensors based on deviations of the individual sensor readings from a total average temperature of all the temperature sensors in the array, to obtain corrected individual sensor readings; and determining a corrected total average temperature as a sum of the corrected individual sensor readings divided by the number of functioning temperature sensors.

Abstract: The aircraft engine can have an engine casing housing the engine, the engine casing having a shaft aperture; a shaft rotatably mounted to the engine casing, the shaft protruding from the engine casing through the shaft aperture; and a seal assembly extending between the engine casing and the shaft adjacent the shaft aperture, the seal assembly defining an electrically conductive path between the engine casing and the shaft.
