  • System and method for an integral drive engine with a forward main gearbox
    Patent number: 10364752
    Abstract: The gas turbine engine includes a core engine, a low pressure turbine, a fan assembly, a gearbox, and a lubrication scavenge pump. The core engine includes a high pressure compressor, a combustor, and a high pressure turbine configured in a serial flow arrangement. The low pressure turbine is positioned axially aft of the core engine. The fan assembly is positioned axially forward of the core engine. The gearbox is positioned axially forward of the fan assembly. The lubrication scavenge pump is positioned forward of the gearbox.

  • Methods and apparatus for assembling gas turbine engines
    Patent number: 7353647
    Abstract: A method facilitates assembling a gas turbine engine including a compressor and a rotor assembly coupled in axial flow communication downstream from the compressor. The method comprises coupling a bypass system in flow communication with the compressor to channel a portion of flow discharged from the compressor towards the rotor assembly is channeled through the bypass system, and coupling a downstream end of the bypass system within the gas turbine engine such that the flow entering the bypass system flows past the rotor assembly and is discharged downstream from the rotor assembly.
