    Abstract: A gas turbine engine and engine mount structure includes a core engine including a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section mounted within a core engine housing. The fan, the compressor section and the turbine section rotate about an axis of rotation. An outer nacelle surrounds the fan, and is spaced from the core engine housing to define a bypass duct. The fan delivers air into the bypass duct and into the core engine housing. The nacelle is formed with camber so as to be curved in a first plane away from the axis of rotation in a first lateral direction. An engine mount structure extends from the nacelle at an angle that is non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the first plane, and has a component in a lateral direction that is opposed to the first lateral direction. An aircraft is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion system includes a fan section that includes a fan shaft that is rotatable about a fan axis. The fan shaft includes a fan gear. The aircraft propulsion system also includes a boost turbine engine that includes a first output shaft that includes a first gear that is coupled to the fan gear. The boost turbine engine has a first maximum power capacity. The aircraft propulsion system further includes a cruise gas turbine engine that includes a second output shaft that includes a second gear that is coupled to the fan gear. The cruise turbine engine has a second maximum power capacity that is less than the first maximum power capacity of the boost turbine engine. The fan section produces a thrust that corresponds to power input through the fan gear from the boost turbine engine and the cruise turbine engine.

    Abstract: Hybrid electric propulsion systems are described. The hybrid electric propulsion systems include a gas turbine engine including a low speed spool and a high speed spool, the low speed spool including a low pressure compressor and a low pressure turbine, and the high speed spool including a high pressure compressor and a high pressure turbine, a mechanical power transmission configured to at least one of extract power from and supply power to at least one of the low speed spool and the high speed spool, an electric motor configured to augment rotational power of at least one of the low speed spool and the high speed spool, and a controller operable to control a power augmentation of at least one of the low speed spool and the high speed spool during an operational stress state of operation of the gas turbine engine.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan shaft rotatable about an axis, a fan connected to the fan shaft, and an outer housing surrounding the fan to define a bypass passage. A compressor section has both a low pressure compressor that is fixed to rotate with the fan shaft and a high pressure compressor. A turbine section has a low pressure turbine driving a low speed spool and a high pressure turbine driving the high pressure compressor. The low pressure turbine includes rotating blades and a static structure aft of the rotating blades. A fan drivetrain includes a geared architecture connecting the low speed spool to the fan shaft such that the fan and low pressure compressor rotate at a lower speed than the low pressure turbine. A thrust bearing is axially aft of the geared architecture and axially forward of the high pressure compressor. A tower shaft is rotatably driven by the low speed spool.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a propulsor delivering air into a core engine inward of an outer core panel. The core engine has a compressor section, a combustor and a turbine section. A compressor bleed system includes a bleed valve on a conduit communicating with compressed air from the compressor section. The bleed valve is configured to deliver air into a chamber where it can flow outwardly of the core engine at an exit location radially inward of the outer core panel.
