• 24” wide-chord,
titanium fan
blades
• 61 inches/1.55 m
Dia of dan
 • The fan blades pull
air through the
intake.
• The air flow
divides into two
paths, the primary
and the secondary.

1. The secondary air flow goes through the outer part of the fan blades and the outlet
guide vanes (OGVs).
2. It then goes through the nacelle discharge duct.
3. This air flow gives approximately 80% of the total thrust. The thrust reverser system
changes the direction of this air for reverse engine thrust.
Bearings
• N1 and N2 rotors are
supported by 5 bearing
(roller and ball bearings)
• They are in the forward
and rear sump cavities
• Ball bearings - axial and
the radial loads from
the shafts
• Roller bearings- only
radial loads
BEARINGS
• 5 main bearings hold N1 and
N2 shaft-1,2,3 in forward sump
4,5 in Rear sump

• Number 1 and Number 2

bearings- hold front of N1
shaft
• Number 5 bearing- holds the
rear of the N1 shaft.

• One ball bearing and one roller

bearing are the number 3
bearing assembly.
• The number 4 bearing holds
the rear of the N2 shaft.
FLANGES

• Flanges hold various accessories and

components.
• The engine has 16 flanges.
• The flanges are identified with an
alphanumeric designation

• • Starting, shutdown, and ignition control
• • Engine power management
• • Reverse thrust control
• • Engine core control
• • High pressure turbine active clearance control (HPTACC) and
