Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Compressor Disk And Hub

Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Compressor Disk and Hub are components used in gas turbine engines for aircraft.

The compressor disk is a rotating component that is responsible for compressing the incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber. It is typically made of a high-strength material, such as titanium, to withstand the high rotational speeds and the forces generated during operation. The compressor disk has blades or vanes attached to it, which help in the compression process.

The hub, on the other hand, is the central part of the compressor disk assembly. It connects the compressor disk to the engine shaft and provides support and stability to the rotating assembly. The hub is also designed to withstand the high centrifugal forces and temperature variations experienced during engine operation.

Both the compressor disk and hub are critical components in the gas turbine engine, as they play a crucial role in the compression of air and the overall performance of the engine. They need to be manufactured to high precision and undergo rigorous testing to ensure their reliability and durability.

These components fall under the supply class Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components in the supply group Engines, Turbines, And Components.
