  • Patent number: 11885242
    Abstract: An aircraft engine has: a compressor section having a compressor rotor rotatable about a central axis; a diffuser downstream of the compressor rotor, the diffuser including a diffuser ring extending circumferentially around the central axis; a bearing housing secured to the diffuser ring, the bearing housing contained within a volume located radially inwardly of the diffuser ring; and an air manifold secured to the diffuser ring, the air manifold defining inlets in fluid flow communication with the compressor section and an outlet in fluid flow communication with the volume.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11859506
    Abstract: A structure is provided for a gas turbine engine. This gas turbine engine structure includes an engine case, an engine pylon and an engine line. The engine case includes a base, a mounting boss and a first support element. The base extends axially along and circumferentially about an axial centerline of the engine case. The mounting boss projects radially out from the base. The first support element projects radially out from the base and laterally out from the mounting boss. The first support element is configured as or otherwise includes a peripheral boss. The engine pylon is mounted to the mounting boss. The engine line is coupled to the peripheral boss.

  • Publication number: 20230374914
    Abstract: A structure for a gas turbine engine includes a first engine component, a second engine component and fasteners. The component apertures include first fastener apertures and intergroup apertures. The first fastener apertures are arranged into a plurality of groups. The first group is formed by N1-number of the first fastener apertures. The second group is formed by N2-number of the first fastener apertures where the N2-number is different than the N1-number. Each of the intergroup apertures is disposed circumferentially between and adjacent a respective circumferentially neighboring pair of the groups. The second engine component includes a surface and second fastener apertures. The surface axially engages the first engine component and covers the intergroup apertures. The fasteners attach the first engine component and the second engine component together. Each of the fasteners is mated with one of the first fastener apertures and one of the second fastener apertures.
