Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section defining a combustion chamber, and a turbine section disposed in serial flow order along a central axis of the gas turbine engine. The combustion section includes a plurality of fuel nozzles in fluid communication with the combustion chamber. The plurality of fuel nozzles define a fuel nozzle pitch extending between a fuel nozzle centerline of adjacent ones of the plurality of fuel nozzles. The turbine section includes a plurality of vanes and a plurality of rotor blades. The turbine section defines a clocking pitch fraction in degrees about the central axis and the clocking pitch fraction is defined between a peak temperature region and a midpoint of a vane pitch. The vane pitch is defined between the leading edge of adjacent ones of the plurality of vanes.
