Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises, in fluid flow series, a gas-generator compressor, a combustor, a gas-generator turbine, and a free power turbine. The gas-generator compressor is an axi-centrifugal compressor comprising a plurality of axial compression stages followed by a single centrifugal compression stage, wherein the International Standard Atmosphere, sea-level static (hereinafter ISA SLS) design point pressure ratio of the axi-centrifugal compressor is from 12 to 16, and a ratio of the ISA SLS pressure rise across the axial compression stages to the ISA SLS pressure rise across the centrifugal compression stage is from 0.75 to 1.

Abstract: A turbofan engine has an engine core including in flow series a compressor, a combustor and a turbine. The engine further has a fan located upstream of the engine core, has a supersonic intake for slowing down incoming air to subsonic velocities at an inlet to the fan formed by the intake, has a bypass duct surrounding the engine core, wherein the fan generates a core airflow to the engine core and a bypass airflow through the bypass duct, and has a mixer for mixing an exhaust gas flow exiting the engine core and bypass airflow exiting bypass duct. The engine further has a thrust nozzle rearwards of the mixer for discharging mixed flows, the thrust nozzle having a variable area throat. The engine further has a controller controlling the thrust produced by the engine over a range of flight operations including on-the-ground subsonic take-off and subsequent off-the-ground subsonic climb.

Abstract: An air duct arrangement (58) for an aircraft (40). The arrangement (58) comprises an environmental control system (ECS) (50). The ECS (50) comprises an air inlet (60) arranged to ingest a low velocity portion of a boundary layer flow adjacent the aircraft fuselage (44), and to deliver a flow of air to an environmental control system air intake (66). The arrangement (58) further comprises an ejector (70) arranged to receive an ECS exhaust (76), and boundary layer air from an aft region of the aircraft (40), and to exhaust air to the ambient airstream at an aft portion of the aircraft (40).

Abstract: A turboshaft gas turbine engine comprises, in fluid flow series, a gas-generator compressor, a combustor, a gas-generator turbine, and a free power turbine. The expansion ratios of the turbines are dependent upon an outlet temperature of the combustor, and an expansion relationship between the turbines is defined as the ratio of expansion ratios of the turbines over a running range of non-dimensional power outputs of the gas turbine engine. A second derivative of the expansion relationship is from 0.6 to 1.0.
