Massimiliano Airaudo

An airfoil assembly defining a primary airflow path for a turbine engine comprising a platform, an airfoil extending from the platform and into at least a portion of the primary airflow path, a secondary airflow path comprising air from the primary airflow path, and a deflector provided within the secondary airflow path.

Turbine engine component with a set of deflectors

A turbine engine with at least a compressor section, combustor section, turbine section and a set of airfoils. The airfoils include geometric characteristics to create a high contraction ratio (CR), a low blade turning (BT) at a radially inward location the airfoil, a low solidity, or a low aspect ratio (AR).

Turbine engine with airfoil having high acceleration and low blade turning

A turbine blade including an airfoil portion extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, a base portion positioned below the airfoil portion, the base portion including an outwardly-extending wing positioned below the airfoil portion, and an aero-brake feature positioned between the outwardly-extending wing and the airfoil portion and extending outward from the base portion, where the aero-brake feature is structurally configured to disrupt axial airflow across the turbine blade.
