Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section having a downstream most location and more upstream locations. A compressor housing surrounds the compressor rotors. A combustor is downstream of the compressor and a turbine section is downstream of the combustor. At least one bleed inlet passage bleeds air compressed from the compressor section, and delivers the air for use on an associated aircraft. A baffle plate is intermediate the at least one bleed inlet passage and a bleed exit port from the gas turbine engine. The baffle plate has a plurality of holes for allowing the air to flow from the bleed inlet passage to the bleed exit port, with an area of the holes increasing from a location adjacent the at least one bleed inlet passage and in a circumferential direction away from the at least one bleed inlet passage. An aircraft air supply system and an aircraft are also disclosed.

Abstract: An environmental control system for an aircraft includes a higher pressure tap associated with a higher compression location in a main compressor section. The higher pressure tap leads into a turbine section of a turbocompressor such that air in the higher pressure tap drives the turbine section to in turn drive a compressor section of the turbocompressor. A combined outlet receives airflow from a turbine outlet and a compressor outlet intermixing airflow and passing the mixed airflow downstream to be delivered to an aircraft system. A buffer air outlet communicates airflow to an engine buffer air system.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a compressor section including a low pressure compressor and a high pressure compressor, a turbine section including a low pressure turbine and a high pressure turbine, an inner shaft that interconnects the low pressure compressor and the low pressure turbine, an outer shaft that interconnects the high pressure compressor and the high pressure turbine, a bearing structure that supports at least one of the inner and outer shafts, and a buffer system. The buffer system prepares buffer air, communicates the buffer air to the bearing structure to pressurize a bearing compartment, and then from the bearing structure along at least one of the shafts.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a gear system that provides a speed reduction between a fan drive turbine and a fan rotor. Aspects of the gear system are provided with defined flexibility. The fan drive turbine has a first exit area and rotates at a first speed. A second turbine section has a second exit area and rotates at a second speed, which is faster than said first speed. A performance quantity can be defined for both turbine sections as the products of the respective areas and respective speeds squared. A performance quantity ratio of the performance quantity for the fan drive turbine to the performance quantity for the second turbine section is between 0.5 and 1.5.

Abstract: A turbofan engine includes a propulsor section that has a propulsor shaft in driving engagement with a propulsor. An epicyclic gear system has a gear mesh lateral stiffness and a gear mesh transverse stiffness. A gear system input defines a gear system input lateral stiffness and a gear system input transverse stiffness. The gear system input lateral stiffness is less than 5% of the gear mesh lateral stiffness. A first turbine section rotates at a first speed, and a second turbine rotates at a second speed that is faster than the first speed. A first performance quantity is defined as the product of the first speed squared and the first area of the first turbine, a second performance quantity is defined as the product of the second speed squared and the second area of the second turbine, and a performance quantity ratio is between 0.5 and 1.5.
