    Abstract: A turbofan engine that includes a first flowpath, a second flowpath, a third flowpath, and a third flowpath exhaust nozzle is provided. The first flowpath is radially inboard of the second flowpath at a location upstream of a core section of the turbofan engine. The third flowpath is radially outboard of the second flowpath at the location upstream of the core section. The third flowpath exhaust nozzle defines a plurality of third flowpath exhaust exit ports through which gas traveling along the third flowpath may be discharged. An area or a geometry of each of the plurality of third flowpath exhaust exit ports is independently and selectively adjustable. A method for operating the turbofan engine includes independently and selectively adjusting an area or a geometry of at least one of the plurality of third flowpath exhaust exit ports to achieve a desired engine operation.

    Abstract: An exhaust nozzle for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a duct having a first surface and a second surface extending about a duct axis to define an exhaust flow path, and at least one effector positioned along the first surface. The at least one effector is pivotable about an effector axis to vary a throat area of the exhaust flow path. The at least one effector tapers along the effector axis. A method of exhaust control for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a main compressor section having a high pressure compressor with a downstream discharge, and more upstream locations. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine. A tap taps air from at least one of the more upstream locations in the compressor section, passing the tapped air through a heat exchanger and then to a cooling compressor, which compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger, and delivers air into the high pressure turbine. The cooling compressor rotates at a speed proportional to a speed of at least one rotor in the turbine section. The cooling compressor is allowed to rotate at a speed that is not proportional to a speed of the at least one rotor under certain conditions. An intercooling system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section, a compressor section aft of the fan section, a combustor fluidly connected to the compressor section, and a turbine section fluidly connected to the combustor. The turbine section includes at least a first turbine and a second turbine. The second turbine operates at a higher pressure than the first turbine. A shaft is connected to the first turbine section such that the first turbine section is operable to drive rotation of the shaft. The shaft is a rotational input for a split gear and the split gear is connected to the fan and at least one of the multiple compressors.
