Abstract

An aircraft system includes, among other things, an aircraft and a gas turbine engine coupled to the aircraft. The gas turbine engine includes a propulsor section including a propulsor, a compressor section, a turbine section including a first turbine and a second turbine, and a gear reduction between the propulsor and the second turbine. The second turbine includes a number of turbine blades in each of a plurality of rows of the second turbine. The second turbine blades operating at least some of the time at a rotational speed. The number of blades and the rotational speed being such that the following formula holds true for a majority of the blade rows of the second turbine: 5500 Hz≤(number of blades×speed)/60 sec≤10000 Hz. The gas turbine engine is rated to produce 15,000 pounds of thrust or more.
