Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a main compressor section having a high pressure compressor with a downstream most end, and more upstream locations. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine. A first tap taps air from at least one of the more upstream locations in the main compressor section, passes the tapped air through a heat exchanger and then to a cooling compressor. The cooling compressor compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger. A second tap taps air from a location closer to the downstream most end than the location(s) of the first tap. The first and second tap mix together and are delivered into the high pressure turbine. An intercooling system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A rotor for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of blades which extend from a rotor disk at an interface, where the interface is defined along a spoke. A spool for a gas turbine engine includes the rotor disk, the plurality of blades with the interface defined along the spoke radially inboard of a blade platform, a rotor ring axially adjacent to the rotor disk, and a plurality of core gas path seals which extend from the rotor ring. Each of the plurality of core gas path seals extends from the rotor ring at a seal interface, with the seal interface defined along a spoke and the plurality of core gas path seals being axially adjacent to the blade platform.

Abstract: A compressor section for use in a gas turbine engine comprises a compressor rotor having a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the hub and an outer housing surrounding an outer periphery of the blades. A tap taps air at a radially outer first location, passing the tapped air through a heat exchanger, and returning the tapped air to an outlet at a second location which is radially inward of the first location, to provide cooling air adjacent to the hub. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan section, a core engine, a bypass passage, a bypass ratio defined as the volume of air passing into the bypass passage compared to the volume of air passing into the core engine, the bypass ratio being greater than or equal to 10 at cruise power, and a low fan pressure ratio of less than 1.45 measured across a fan blade alone. A gear arrangement drives the fan section. A compressor section includes both a low pressure compressor and a high pressure compressor. A guide vane includes a forward attachment, the forward attachment positioned aft of a plumbing connection area. A turbine section drives the gear arrangement, and may have a low pressure turbine with a low pressure turbine pressure ratio greater than 5:1, and a two stage high pressure turbine. An overall pressure ratio is provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the low pressure compressor and a pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor, and greater than 50, measured at sea level and at a static, full-rated takeoff power. The pressure ratio across the high pressure compressor is greater than 7.
