Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a core engine that includes a core flow path that is in communication with a compressor section, combustor section and a turbine section, the core engine is configured to generate a high energy gas flow, a first cycle turbine that is configured to drive a first cycle compressor at a cycle speed in response to expansion of a heated working fluid flow between a first inlet and a first outlet of the first cycle turbine, and a first power turbine that is configured to drive a first output shaft at a power speed that is different than the cycle speed in response to expansion of a working fluid flow received from the first outlet of the first cycle turbine.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a core engine that includes a core flow path that connects a compressor section, combustor section and a turbine section. The gas turbine engine further includes a bottoming cycle system that includes a supercritical CO2 (sCO2) working fluid flow. A first recuperator is disposed in the core flow path downstream of the turbine section, the first recuperator is configured to transfer thermal energy from a core flow aft of the turbine section to the sCO2 working fluid flow. A second recuperator is disposed in the compressor section, the second recuperator is configured to transfer thermal energy from the sCO2 working fluid flow to a location forward of the combustor section.

Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a core flow path in communication with a compressor section, combustor section and a turbine section. A first bottoming cycle system includes a bottoming working fluid flow in thermal communication with a high energy exhaust gas flow that is generated by the core engine. The first bottoming cycle is configured to recover power from the high energy exhaust gas flow in a first engine operating condition and in a second engine operating condition. A second bottoming cycle system is configured to recover power from the high energy exhaust gas flow in the first engine operating condition and not to recover power in a second engine operating condition.

Abstract: An aircraft propulsion system includes a core engine that includes a core flow path where a core airflow is compressed in a compressor section, communicated to a combustor section, mixed with fuel and ignited to generate a gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section for powering a primary propulsor. The aircraft propulsion system further includes a tap that is at a location upstream of the combustor section where a bleed airflow is drawn, a heat exchanger where the bleed airflow is heated by the gas flow, a power turbine through which heated bleed airflow is expanded to generate a work output, and a secondary propulsor that is driven by the work output that is generated by the power turbine.

Abstract: An engine driven environmental control system (ECS) air circuit includes a gas turbine engine having a compressor section. The compressor section includes a plurality of compressor bleeds. A selection valve selectively connects each of said bleeds to an input of an intercooler. A second valve is configured to selectively connect an output of said intercooler to at least one auxiliary compressor. The output of each of the at least one auxiliary compressors is connected to an ECS air input.
