Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section delivering air into a compressor section. The compressor section compresses air and delivers air into a combustion section. Products of combustion pass from the combustion section over a turbine section to drive the fan section and main compressor sections. A gearbox is driven by the turbine section to drive the fan 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 location being at a lower pressure than the higher 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. A pylon supports the engine. The pylon defines a lowermost surface and the higher pressure tap extends above a plane including the lowermost surface. The higher pressure tap includes a double wall tube above the plane for preventing leakage from impinging on a portion of the pylon. An environmental control system is also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved stator assembly is disclosed. The stator assembly may comprise an exit guide vane, an OD ring, and an ID ring. The exit guide vane may couple at one end to the OD ring and at an opposite end to the ID ring. The exit guide vane may comprise a leading edge opposite of a trailing edge. The OD ring and the ID ring may couple to a diffuser assembly of a gas turbine engine. The stator assembly may further comprise an aft OD seal, a forward OD seal, an ID seal, and a diffuser assembly seal to reduce airflow leaks around the stator assembly.

Abstract: A turbofan engine has an engine case and a gaspath through the engine case. A fan has a circumferential array of fan blades. The engine further has a compressor, a combustor, a gas generating turbine, and a low pressure turbine section. A speed reduction mechanism couples the low pressure turbine section to the fan. A bypass area ratio is greater than about 6.0. The low pressure turbine section airfoil count to bypass area ratio is below about 170.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a fan and a compressor section with a first lower pressure location and a second higher pressure location. A heat exchanger and a higher pressure tap from the second higher pressure location pass through the heat exchanger. Air in the higher pressure tap is cooled by air from a lower pressure tap from the first lower pressure location. A valve controls flow to the heat exchanger from the lower pressure tap, the valve being controlled to limit flow from the lower pressure tap under certain conditions.
