Design of aircraft turbine fan drive gear transmission system

The following basic types of gear reduction concepts were studied as being feasible power train systems for a low-bypass-ratio, single-spool, geared turbofan engine for general aircraft use: (1) single-stage external-internal reduction, (2) gears (offset shafting), (3) multiple compound idler gear system (concentric shafting), and (4) star gear planetary system with internal ring gear final output member (concentric shafting-counterrotation). In addition, studies were made of taking the accessories drive power off both the high-speed and low-speed shafting, using either face gears or spiral bevel gears. Both antifriction and sleeve-type bearings were considered for the external-internal and star-planet reduction concepts.

Highly loaded multi-stage fan drive turbine: Plain blade configuration design

The constant-inside-diameter flowpath was scaled for testing in an existing turbine test facility. Blading detailed design is discussed, and design data are summarized. Predicted performance maps are presented. Steady-state stresses and vibratory behavior are discussed and the results of the mechanical design analysis are presented.

Highly loaded multi-stage fan drive turbine: Leaned stator configuration design

The results of the high lift blade configuration design study are reported. The three-stage constant-inside-diameter turbine utilizes a ten degree tangentially leaned stator in stage three. All other bladerows use plain blades. Analysis of the leaned stator is discussed, and detailed design data are summarized. Steady-state stresses are discussed, and the results of the mechanical design analysis are presented.
