    Abstract: In one aspect the present subject matter is directed to a gas-electric propulsion system for an aircraft. The system may include a turbofan jet engine, an electric powered boundary layer ingestion fan that is coupled to a fuselage portion of the aircraft aft of the turbofan jet engine, and an electric generator that is electronically coupled to the turbofan jet engine and to the boundary layer ingestion fan. The electric generator converts rotational energy from the turbofan jet engine to electrical energy and provides at least a portion of the electrical energy to the boundary layer ingestion fan. In another aspect of the present subject matter, a method for propelling an aircraft via the gas-electric propulsion system is disclosed.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine including a compressor section and a turbine section, coupled by one or more shafts, is provided. The compressor section progressively compresses air and includes an aft-stage of rotor blades rotatable about an axial direction of the gas turbine engine. A cooling system is included with the gas turbine engine for cooling compressed air in or from the compressor section. The cooling system includes a fluid tank for storing a volume of cooling fluid and one or more fluid lines in fluid communication with the fluid tank. The one or more fluid lines include an outlet positioned adjacent to the aft-stage of rotor blades for injecting cooling fluid into the compressed air proximate the aft-stage of rotor blades.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine including a compressor section, a turbine section, and a combustion section positioned between the compressor section and the turbine section is provided. The gas turbine engine also includes a cooling system having a tank and one or more fluid lines in fluid communication with the tank. The one or more fluid lines are configured to carry a flow of consumable cooling liquid provide such consumable cooling liquid to one or more components of the compressor section, the turbine section, and/or the combustion section not directly exposed to a core air flowpath defined through the gas turbine engine.
