Abstract: A gearbox including a gear and a gutter. The gear is rotatable about a rotational axis in a rotational direction. The gear has a radial direction and an axial direction, and the gear expels oil radially outward when the gear rotates. The gutter is positioned radially outward of the gear in the radial direction of the gear to collect oil expelled by the gear when the gear rotates. The gutter includes an axial surface, a plurality of radial surfaces including a first radial surface and a second radial surface, and at least one opening to allow the oil collected in the gutter to flow therethrough. Each of the first radial surface and the second radial surface is oriented in a direction intersecting the axial surface, and the at least one opening is formed on both the axial surface and one of the first radial surface and the second radial surface.

Abstract: A gearbox for a gas turbine engine. The gearbox including a rotor and a gutter. The oil system is configured to supply oil to the gearbox. The rotor is rotatable about a rotation axis. The rotor expels oil radially outward when the rotor rotates. The gutter is positioned radially outward of the rotor to collect oil expelled by the rotor when the rotor rotates. The gutter is positioned eccentrically with respect to the rotor.

Abstract: An improved flashing attachment apparatus and method consists of a mesh with a length and a width where the mesh is folded over along its width to create a closed end and an open end along its length and a top and a bottom. A membrane is connected with the mesh between the top and the bottom of the mesh where the membrane extends past the open end at least partially along the length of the mesh.

Abstract: A flashing attachment apparatus and method includes an angle plate with a horizontal leg and a vertical leg wherein the horizontal leg includes a top and a back and wherein the vertical leg includes a front and a back. A bent plate is connected with the back of the vertical leg and a self adhering membrane is connected between the bent plate and the vertical leg to the back of the vertical leg wherein the self adhering membrane includes a removable cover shielding adhesive on the self adhering membrane.

Abstract: A turbine brush seal is created between two members, one of which may rotate with respect to the other. A bonding agent, capable of withstanding temperatures above at least about 400° C. for at least about 10,000 hours, is applied to one or both members, each of which may include a groove for application of the bonding agent. Flexible filaments, also capable of withstanding temperatures above at least about 400° C. for at least about 10,000 hours, are then embedded into the bonding agent by, for example, electrostatic flocking. After the bonding agent solidifies, the turbine brush seal is created.
