Abstract
A compressor section or a turbine section of a gas turbine engine having an axis includes a drum. The compressor section or the turbine section also includes a plurality of bores extending radially inward from the drum including a first bore and a second bore. The compressor section or the turbine section also includes a first bore basket at least partially defining a first cavity such that the first bore has at least one surface located in the first cavity. The compressor section or the turbine section also includes a second bore basket at least partially defining a second cavity that is isolated from the first cavity such that the second bore has at least one surface located in the second cavity.
Claims20
A compressor section or a turbine section of a gas turbine engine having an axis, comprising:
- a drum;
- a plurality of bores extending radially inward from the drum including a first bore and a second bore;
- a first bore basket at least partially defining a first cavity such that the first bore has at least one surface located in the first cavity;
- and
- a second bore basket at least partially defining a second cavity that is isolated from the first cavity such that the second bore has at least one surface located in the second cavity.
A compressor section or a turbine section of a gas turbine engine having an axis, comprising:
- a drum;
- a plurality of bores extending radially inward from the drum including a first bore and a second bore;
- a first bore basket coupled to the first bore and at least partially defining a first cavity along with the first bore;
- and
- a second bore basket coupled to the second bore and at least partially defining a second cavity along with the second bore, the second cavity being isolated from the first cavity.
A high pressure compressor section of a gas turbine engine, comprising:
- a drum;
- a plurality of bores extending radially inward from the drum including a first bore and a second bore;
- a first bore basket at least partially defining a first cavity such that the first bore has at least one surface located in the first cavity;
- and
- a second bore basket at least partially defining a second cavity that is isolated from the first cavity such that the second bore has at least one surface located in the second cavity.
