Patent ID: 11549373

Abstract:
A turbine section for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first turbine rotor coupled to a first turbine shaft. The first turbine shaft is rotatable about a longitudinal axis. A second turbine rotor is coupled to a second turbine shaft. The second turbine shaft is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, and the second turbine rotor is axially aft of the first turbine rotor relative to the longitudinal axis. An aft bearing assembly rotatably supports the second turbine shaft. The second turbine rotor includes a disk assembly that carries at least one row of turbine blades. The disk assembly is mechanically attached to the second turbine shaft at an attachment point. The attachment point is axially aft of the aft bearing assembly such that an aft portion of the second turbine shaft is cantilevered from the aft bearing system with respect to the longitudinal axis. The disk assembly includes a metallic material. Each of the turbine blades comprises a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material.
