    Abstract: A turbine engine for an aircraft including a turbo-engine, a fan having a fan shaft coupled to the turbo-engine, and a steam system. The steam system is fluidly coupled to a core air flow path at a plurality of steam injection locations to selectively inject steam into the core air flow path at each of the plurality of steam injection locations, using a steam flow control valve. The plurality of steam injection locations include (i) an upstream steam injection location located to inject steam into the core air flow path at a primary combustion zone of a combustor or upstream thereof and (ii) a downstream steam injection location located to inject steam into the core air flow path downstream of the primary combustion zone.

    Abstract: A turbomachine engine includes an engine core including a high-pressure compressor, a high-pressure turbine, and a combustion chamber in flow communication with the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine. The engine core has a length (LCORE), and the high-pressure compressor has an exit stage diameter (DCORE). A high-pressure shaft is coupled to the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine. The high-pressure shaft is characterized by a high-speed shaft rating (HSR) from 1.5 to 6.2, and a ratio of LCORE/DCORE is from 2.1 to 4.3.
