Duct Liner Acoustic Splice
US Patent:
7296655, Nov 20, 2007
Filed:
Apr 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/112642
Inventors:

Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
B64C 1/40, B64C 1/12, B64C 1/06, B64D 33/02, F02K 1/82
US Classification:
181210, 181214, 244 1 N, 244131, 244132
Abstract:
A duct liner assembly includes a noise attenuation layer for absorbing noise energy that is covered by a face sheet. The face sheet includes a seam that is covered by an acoustically active splice. The acoustically active splice includes a plurality of acoustic regions that provide for communication of noise energy to the noise attenuation layer to minimize creation of acoustically dead areas.
Detachable Fan Blade Platform And Method Of Repairing Same
US Patent:
2013030, Nov 21, 2013
Filed:
May 15, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/471718
Inventors:
Charles W. Brown - East Hampton CT, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/02, F16J 15/32, B23P 6/00
US Classification:
4151731, 416204 R, 298891, 277549
Abstract:
A fan section for a gas turbine engine includes a hub. A fan blade is secured to the hub. A platform is removably secured to the hub and is arranged adjacent to the fan blade. The platform has a body with lateral sides that each include a channel. A seal is removably received in each of the channels, with one of the seals abutting the fan blade. A method of repairing the fan blade platform includes the steps of removing a nose cone to provide access to a hub, detaching a platform from the hub, and pulling the seal from a groove in the platform.
Zero Acoustic Splice Fan Case Liner
US Patent:
7797809, Sep 21, 2010
Filed:
Dec 12, 2007

International Classification:
B23P 25/00, F02K 1/82
US Classification:
29458, 29557, 29558
Abstract:
A liner assembly for a fan case includes a noise attenuation layer covered by a face sheet. The face sheet includes openings to the underlying noise attenuation layer. The face sheet and noise attenuation layer include acoustically transparent joints. The noise attenuation layer includes a first side joined to a second side at a seam by an adhesive strip. The adhesive strip bonds the first side to the second side without filling any chambers. The face sheet includes a joint filled with an adhesive providing the desired uninterrupted surface within the fan case. Openings are formed through the joint and the adhesive to communicate with the underlying noise attenuation layer. The joint and seam become essentially transparent acoustically to improve noise attenuation performance.

Assignee:
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Hartford CT
International Classification:
F01D 5/02, F01D 25/00
US Classification:
416244 A
Abstract:
A fairing assembly includes an outer wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a saddle. The first side wall and the second side wall extend from opposing sides of the outer wall. Together the first side wall, the second side wall, and the outer wall form a cavity within the fairing assembly. The saddle is positioned within the cavity and extends between the first side wall and the second side wall. The saddle has a first rib adapted to connect to the first side wall and a second rib adapted to connect to the second side wall. The first rib and the second rib connect together at a central hub.
