    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a main compressor section with a downstream most location. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine. A tap line is connected to tap air from a location upstream of the downstream most location in the main compressor section. The tapped air is connected to a heat exchanger and then to a cooling compressor. The cooling compressor compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger, and is connected to deliver air into the high pressure turbine. A bypass valve is positioned downstream of the main compressor section, and upstream of the heat exchanger. The bypass valve selectively delivers air directly to the cooling compressor without passing through the heat exchanger under certain conditions.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a high speed spool and a low speed spool. A low speed power takeoff is driven by the low speed spool and a high speed power takeoff is driven by the high speed spool. The low speed power takeoff drives a plurality of low speed driven accessories about low speed spool drive axes and the high speed power takeoff drives a plurality of high speed driven accessories about high speed spool drive axes. The low speed spool drive axes are generally tangential to an envelope defined about a center axis of the engine, and the high speed spool drive axes are generally tangential to an envelope defined about the center.
