    Abstract: A system is provided for an aircraft. This aircraft system includes an exhaust duct, an exhaust flow regulator, a nozzle bypass duct and a bypass flow regulator. The exhaust duct extends longitudinally to an exhaust nozzle. The exhaust flow regulator is configured to regulate fluid flow through the exhaust duct to the exhaust nozzle. The nozzle bypass duct projects out from a side of the exhaust duct. The bypass flow regulator is configured to regulate fluid flow from the exhaust duct into the nozzle bypass duct. The bypass flow regulator is disposed upstream of the exhaust flow regulator.

    Abstract: Aircraft generator systems are described. The aircraft generator systems include a main engine having a fan and a compressor section, a generator assembly having at least one expansion turbine operably connected to a generator, and a working fluid flow path defined between at least one extraction point at at least one of the fan and the compressor section of the main engine and at least one outlet, wherein the working fluid is configured to flow through the at least one expansion turbine to generate power at the generator. There are no heat exchangers arranged between the at least one extraction point and the at least one outlet along the working fluid flow path.
