==GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH AN AIRFOIL - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835091 titled 'GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH AN AIRFOIL

==Simplified Explanation==

'''Abstract:'''
A turbine engine consists of three sections: a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section. The combustion section burns fuel, which in turn powers the turbine section to drive the compressor section. The airfoils in the turbine section have a specific design near the trailing edge to minimize the shock generated in their wake.

* The turbine engine has a compressor section, combustion section, and turbine section.
* Fuel is burned in the combustion section.
* The combustion process powers the turbine section.
* The turbine section drives the compressor section.
* The airfoils in the turbine section have a unique design near the trailing edge.
* The design includes a linear portion between the pressure side and a curved portion.
* The purpose of the design is to reduce the shock generated in the wake of the airfoils.

'''Potential Applications:'''
* Aircraft engines
* Power generation turbines
* Industrial gas turbines

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Minimizing shock generated in the wake of airfoils
* Improving the efficiency and performance of turbine engines

'''Benefits:'''
* Increased efficiency of turbine engines
* Reduced fuel consumption
* Improved overall performance of the engine


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section. Fuel combusted in the combustion section drive stages of airfoils in the turbine section to drive the compressor section. The airfoils can include a geometry near or at the trailing edge with a linear portion provided between the pressure side and a first curved portion, to reduce shock generated in the wake of the airfoils.
