AIR DIRECTING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE SAME

摘要

A gas turbine engine assembly is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a high-pressure compressor (14) including a first rotor (22) and a second compressor rotor (24) disposed downstream from the first rotor, a high- pressure turbine (18) coupled downstream to the compressor by a first shaft (20), and an air directing assembly (100) coupled between the first and second compressor rotors for selectively channeling airflow (50) discharged from the first compressor rotor inward through the first shaft.
