INTEGRATED STRUT DESIGN FOR MID-TURBINE FRAMES WITH U-BASE

摘要

A mid-turbine frame connected to at least one mount of a gas turbineengine transfers a first load from a first bearing and a second load from asecondbearing to the mount. The mid-turbine frame includes a single point loadstructureand a plurality of struts. The single point load structure combines the firstloadand the second load into a combined load. The plurality of struts is connectedtothe single point load structure and transfers the combined load from thesinglepoint load structure to the mount.
