Abstract
A device for supplying ventilation air to a turbine rotor of a gas turbine engine including a first turbine disk, a second turbine disk, and a downstream shell ring together forming a one-piece drum is disclosed. The second turbine disk includes cavities machined in the rim to house the turbine blades, where the blades are axially retained by axial retaining segments. The downstream shell ring has at least one aperture drilled therethrough, downstream of the rim, which places an internal volume of the drum in fluid communication with at least one of the cavities via a passage formed in the segments.
