Abstract

See full text

A gas turbine engine comprises a fan, a compressor section including a compressor having a low pressure portion and a high pressure portion, a combustor section, and a turbine having a downstream portion. A gear reduction effects a reduction in the speed of the fan relative to an input speed to the fan. The downstream portion of the turbine has a number of turbine blades in each of a plurality of rows of the downstream turbine portion. The turbine blades operate at least some of the time at a rotational speed. The number of blades and the rotational speed are such that the following formula holds true for at least one of the blade rows of the downstream turbine: (number of blades×speed)/60≧5500. The rotational speed is an approach speed in revolutions per minute. A method of designing a gas turbine engine and a turbine module are also disclosed.
