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.

Abstract: An exemplary boundary layer ingestion engine includes a gas generator, a turbine fluidly connected to the gas generator, and a fan mechanically linked to the turbine via at least one shaft. The linkage is configured such that rotation of the turbine is translated to the fan. The boundary layer ingestion engine further includes an exhaust duct fluidly connected to an outlet of the turbine. The exhaust duct is positioned radially inward of the fan.

Abstract: A mounting system for a gas turbine engine includes a compressor case portion, an inlet frame, an outlet frame, and a mounting structure. The compressor case portion houses rotatable compressor blades. The inlet frame connects to an inlet end of the compressor case. The outlet frame connects to an outlet end of the compressor case portion at an end opposite the compressor case inlet end. An axially fore mounting structure of the mounting structure connects to the inlet frame. An axially aft mounting structure of the mounting structure connects to the outlet frame. A bridging structure of the mounting structure is offset from the compressor case and connects the fore and aft mounting structures, thereby bridging engine loads across the inlet and outlet frames to reduce load induced distortion of the compressor case portion.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a fan on an engine central axis. Plural gas generators are downstream of the fan, each along a respective central axis, mutually offset, and offset from the engine central axis. A fan drive turbine is on the engine central axis, downstream of the dual gas generators, and driven by output from the dual gas generators, to drive the fan.

Abstract: A geared turbofan gas turbine engine includes a fan section and a core section. The core section includes a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. The fan section includes a gearbox and a fan. A low spool includes a low turbine within the turbine section and a forward connection to a gearbox for driving the fan. The low spool is supported for rotation about the axis at a forward most position by a forward roller bearing and at an aft position by a thrust bearing.

Abstract: A turbine engine is disclosed that includes a fan case surrounding a fan rotatable about an axis. A core is supported relative to the fan case by support structure arranged downstream from the fan. The core includes a core housing having an inlet case arranged to receive airflow from the fan. A compressor case is arranged axially adjacent to the inlet case and surrounds a compressor stage having a rotor blade with a blade trailing edge. The support structure includes a support structure leading edge facing the fan and a support structure trailing edge on a side opposite the support structure leading edge. The support structure trailing edge is arranged axially forward of the blade trailing edge. In one example, a forward attachment extends from the support structure to the inlet case.

Abstract: An intercooled cooling system for a gas turbine engine includes a heat exchanger in fluid communication with a cooling airflow source directed through the heat exchanger and an auxiliary compressor fluidly coupled to the heat exchanger via a discharge duct to compress the cooling airflow exiting the heat exchanger. A compressor discharge pathway directs a first portion of the cooling airflow from the auxiliary compressor to a first cooling location of the gas turbine engine, and a bypass pathway is fluidly coupled to the discharge duct between the heat exchanger and the auxiliary compressor to direct a second portion of the cooling airflow to a second cooling location of the gas turbine without passing through the auxiliary compressor.
