Abstract

An aircraft component is used for an aircraft gas-turbine engine. The aircraft component includes an annular part, a flange, and a boss. The annular part has an outer circumferential surface. The flange is formed at one end portion of the annular part in an axial direction. The boss projects from the outer circumferential surface of the annular part to the radial direction. On a section cut along an axial direction of the annular part, the outer circumferential surface of the annular part between the flange and the boss has a taper part that is formed into a tapered shape in which plate thickness becomes thicker from the flange toward the boss.

Claims (13)

1. An aircraft component used for an aircraft gas-turbine engine, the aircraft component comprising:

an annular part having an outer circumferential surface;

a flange that is formed at one end portion of the annular part in an axial direction; and

a boss that projects from the outer circumferential surface of the annular part to a radial direction, wherein

on a section cut along an axial direction of the annular part, the annular part between the flange and the boss has

a first part having a flat surface, and

a second part having an inclination with respect to the first part to define an inclination angle, extending from the first part to the boss, and having a plate thickness continuously increasing toward the boss, wherein the inclination angle does not decrease along an entirety of the second part from the first part to the boss, and

when a distance between the flange and the boss in the axial direction of the annular part is defined as d and a length of the second part in the axial direction of the annular part is defined as d′, the length d′ of the second part is in a range of 0.5d≤d′≤d.

2. The aircraft component according to claim 1 , wherein

the flange is formed to extend in a circumferential direction of the annular part, and

the boss has a portion facing the flange and formed parallel to the flange.

3. The aircraft component according to claim 2 , wherein when a width of the portion of the boss parallel to the flange is defined as a, and a curvature radius of a circumferential edge of the boss centering a bolt-hole that is formed by penetrating the boss is defined as b, the width a is in a range of b<a<3b.

4. An aircraft gas-turbine engine comprising the aircraft component according to claim 1 .
