Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gas turbine engine includes a core section having a low spool, intermediate spool and a high spool that rotate about a common axis. The intermediate spool is supported at an aft position by an inter-shaft bearing arrangement on the low spool. The low spool is supported for rotation in an aft position by an aft roller bearing supported on a turbine exhaust case of the gas turbine engine. The high spool is supported by a high spool aft roller bearing disposed within a high spool bearing compartment. The high spool bearing compartment is positioned within a radial space between the combustor and the axis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A gas turbine engine assembly comprising: a core section including a compressor, a combustor and a turbine supported along an axis; a low spool supported for rotation about the axis, the low spool including a low turbine section; an intermediate spool including an intermediate turbine section axially forward of the low turbine section, the intermediate turbine section including all stages rotatable with the intermediate spool, the intermediate spool supp…
