Abstract: An aircraft propulsion system includes a fan section that includes a fan shaft that is rotatable about a fan axis. The fan shaft includes a fan gear. The aircraft propulsion system also includes a boost turbine engine that includes a first output shaft that includes a first gear that is coupled to the fan gear. The boost turbine engine has a first maximum power capacity. The aircraft propulsion system further includes a cruise gas turbine engine that includes a second output shaft that includes a second gear that is coupled to the fan gear. The cruise turbine engine has a second maximum power capacity that is less than the first maximum power capacity of the boost turbine engine. The fan section produces a thrust that corresponds to power input through the fan gear from the boost turbine engine and the cruise turbine engine.

Abstract: An example gas turbine engine includes a propulsor assembly consisting of a fan module and a fan drive turbine module, an epicyclic gear train, a high spool and a low spool. A weight of the propulsor assembly is less than 40% of a total weight of a gas turbine engine. The high spool includes an outer shaft, a high pressure turbine and a high pressure compressor. The low spool includes an inner shaft, a low pressure turbine and a low pressure compressor. The inner shaft drives the propulsor through the gear train to drive the propulsor. A weight of the propulsor is greater than a weight of the low pressure turbine.

Abstract: An exemplary gas turbine engine assembly includes a fan section including a fan, a first spool having a first turbine operatively mounted to a first turbine shaft, and a second spool having a second turbine operatively mounted to a second turbine shaft. The first and second towershafts are respectively coupled to the first and second turbine shafts. An accessory drive gearbox includes a set of gears. A compressor is driven by the first towershaft. A transmission couples a starter generator assembly to the set of gears. The transmission is transitionable between a first mode where the starter generator assembly is driven at a first speed relative to the second towershaft in response to rotation of the second towershaft, and a second mode where the starter generator assembly is driven at a different, second speed relative to the second towershaft in response to rotation of the second towershaft.

Abstract: A disclosed gas turbine engine includes a fan section delivering air into a compressor section. An environmental control system includes a higher pressure tap at a higher pressure location in the compressor section, and a lower pressure tap at a lower pressure location. The lower pressure tap communicates to a first passage leading to a downstream outlet, and having a second passage leading into a compressor section of a turbocompressor. The higher pressure tap leads into a turbine section of the turbocompressor such that air in the higher pressure tap drives the turbine section to in turn drive the compressor section of the turbocompressor. A combined outlet of the compressor section and the turbine section of the turbocompressor intermixes and passes downstream to be delivered to an aircraft use.
