AERO-DERIVATIVE GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH AN ADVANCED TRANSITION DUCT COMBUSTION ASSEMBLY

摘要

An aero-derivative can annular gas turbine engine having: an aero gas turbine engine core including an aero high pressure compressor (65) interconnected with an aero high pressure turbine (73) by an aero high pressure shaft (142) in a geometric arrangement appropriate for association with an aero annular combustor (84), but with the aero annular combustor (84) and a first row of turbine vanes (38) of the aero high pressure turbine (73) absent; and a can annular combustor assembly (122) assembled with the aero gas turbine engine core and configured to receive compressed air from the aero high pressure compressor (65) and to accelerate and orient combustion gasses directly onto a first row of blades of the aero high pressure turbine (73).
