Abstract: A probe cooling system for a gas turbine engine includes a probe housing and a bushing disposed between an end of the probe housing and a gas path, the bushing extending from the end of the probe housing to form a cavity. The system also includes a first plenum defined within the probe housing and configured to direct air from an internal cooling air supply towards the cavity. The system also includes a second plenum defined between the bushing and the probe housing and configured to direct air from the internal cooling air supply towards the cavity.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes pressure and suction surfaces that are provided by pressure and suction walls extending in a radial direction and joined at a leading edge and a trailing edge. A cooling passage is arranged between the pressure and suction walls and extending to the trailing edge. The cooling passage terminates in a trailing edge exit that is arranged in the trailing edge. Multiple rows of pedestals include a first row of pedestals that join the pressure and suction walls. The first row of pedestals is arranged closest to the trailing edge but interiorly from the trailing edge thereby leaving the trailing edge exit unobstructed.

Abstract: A retainer for securing the outer air seal assembly of a turbine rotor stage in a locked position. The outer air seal is suspended from the turbine casing over the rotor stage and is locked to the casing by annular segmented locking keys. A series of circumferentially spaced seats are located upon the front face of the locking key segments with the outer surfaces of the seats describing a circle approximating a first diameter. A split ring retainer is slidably carried in a radially disposed groove and is arranged to secure the key segments in a locked position. A series of lugs extend inwardly from the inside wall of the ring. The lugs are circumferentially spaced about the ring with the inner surface of the lugs approximating a circle having a second diameter that is less that of the first diameter approximated by the seats. The lugs are spaced so that each lug can be seated upon a seat to flex the ring outwardly in a radial direction and thus secure the key segment in a locking position.
