Abstract: A turbofan engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fan including fan blades, an outer housing that surrounds the fan to define a bypass flow path, a compressor section in fluid communication with the fan, the compressor section including a low pressure compressor section and a high pressure compressor section, a turbine section including a fan drive turbine section driving the fan and the low pressure compressor section and a high pressure turbine section driving the high pressure compressor section. A gear reduction including an epicyclic gear train is between the fan drive turbine section and the low pressure compressor section such that the low pressure compressor section and the fan are rotatable at a common speed and such that the fan is rotatable at a lower speed than the fan drive turbine section. The fan drive turbine section has a first exit area at a first exit point and is rotatable at a first speed, the high pressure turbine section has a second exit area at a second exit point and is rotatable at a second speed, which is higher than the first speed. A first performance quantity is defined as a product of the first speed squared and the first area, a second performance quantity is defined as a product of the second speed squared and the second exit area and a performance ratio of the first performance quantity to the second performance quantity is between 0.2 and 0.8.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a gas generator rotating along a first axis of rotation, with at least one compressor rotor, at least one gas generator turbine rotor and a combustion section. A fan drive turbine rotates along a second axis of rotation, downstream of at least one gas generator turbine rotor. The fan drive turbine drives a pair of shaft portions extending in opposed directions beyond the axis of rotation of the gas generator.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a core engine assembly including a compressor section communicating air to a combustor section where the air is mixed with fuel and ignited to generate a high-energy gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section. The turbine section is coupled to drive the compressor section. A propulsor section aft of the core engine is driven by the turbine section. An exhaust duct routing exhaust gases around the propulsor section. The exhaust duct includes an inlet forward of the propulsor section, an outlet aft of the turbine section and a passageway between the inlet and the outlet. An aircraft and exhaust duct are also disclosed.

Abstract: An electromechanical component arrangement for a gas turbine engine includes a mechanical component located at a first side of a firewall of a gas turbine engine and an electronic module of the electromechanical component in communication with the mechanical component separated from the mechanical component by a firewall, the firewall comprising a first side and a second side, the second side having a lower operating temperature than the first side. A vibration isolation structure is located at the second side. The electronic module is connected thereto and includes at least one vibration isolator secured to the firewall to vibrationally isolate the electronic module from gas turbine engine vibrations.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a compressor section and a turbine section, with the turbine section having a first stage blade row and a downstream blade row. A higher pressure tap is tapped from a higher pressure first location in the compressor. A lower pressure tap is tapped from a lower pressure location in the compressor which is at a lower pressure than the first location. The higher pressure tap passes through a heat exchanger, and then is delivered to cool the first stage blade row in the turbine section. The lower pressure tap is delivered to at least partially cool the downstream blade row.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a housing includes an inlet case and an intermediate case that respectively provide an inlet case flow path and an intermediate case flow path. A rotor is connected to the hub and supports a compressor section. The geared architecture includes an epicyclic gear train. A fan is rotationally driven by the geared architecture. First and second bearings support the shaft relative to the intermediate case and the inlet case, respectively. The radially inner boundary of the core inlet is at a location of a core inlet stator and the radially inner boundary of the compressor section inlet is at a location of the first stage low-pressure compressor rotor.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a nose cone, a fan for delivering air into a bypass duct as bypass flow, and into a core engine to be delivered to a compressor. The nose cone includes a vent to receive air and deliver the air across a heat exchanger, which receives a fluid to be cooled. The air from the vents is delivered to an outlet downstream of the heat exchanger, such that a majority of the air being delivered to the outlet becomes part of the bypass flow.
