A gas turbine engine comprises an exhaust section member, a turbine section member, a heat shield and a spacer. The turbine section member is coupled to the exhaust section member. The heat shield is retained between the exhaust section member and the turbine section member. The spacer is positioned between the exhaust section member and the turbine section member to produce a gap for the heat shield. In one embodiment, the exhaust section member comprises a duct and the turbine section member comprises a bearing support.

Spacer for power turbine inlet heat shield

A power turbine section for a gas turbine engine includes a heat shield assembly mounted to a bearing support, the heat shield assembly forms an outer diameter directed toward an inner vane platform of the power turbine vane array.

Power turbine heat shield architecture

A power turbine section for a gas turbine engine includes a heat shield assembly mounted to a bearing support to form a first annular compartment and a second annular compartment.

An augmentor for a gas turbine engine includes an augmentor spray bar with a spray bar outlet, and an augmentor spray bar tip. The spray bar tip includes a tip body, a tip bushing and a tip support strut. The tip body includes a first flow passage extending therethrough between a tip inlet and a tip outlet, wherein the tip inlet is connected to the spray bar outlet. The tip bushing includes a bushing bore. The tip body extends through the bushing bore defining a second flow passage between the tip body and the tip bushing. The tip support strut connects the tip body to the tip bushing across the second flow passage.

A flanged apparatus includes an apparatus body and a flanged mount, which includes a support pylon, a first mounting flange and a second mounting flange. The support pylon includes a first pylon segment, a second pylon segment and a routing notch. The first pylon segment is cantilevered from the apparatus body, and extends to the first mounting flange. The second pylon segment is cantilevered from the first pylon support, and extends from the first mounting flange to the second mounting flange. The routing notch extends vertically between the first pylon segment and the second pylon segment. The first mounting flange and the second mounting flange extend laterally from the support pylon, and the first mounting flange is separated from the second mounting flange by a longitudinal distance and a vertical distance.
