    Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft includes an engine core including a first, lower pressure, turbine, a first compressor, and a first core shaft connecting the first turbine to the first compressor; and a second, higher pressure, turbine, a second compressor, and a second core shaft connecting the second turbine to the second compressor, and a fan located upstream of the engine core and including a plurality of fan blades extending from a hub. A turbine to fan tip temperature change ratio of a low pressure turbine temperature change to a fan tip temperature rise is in the range from 1.46 to 2.0.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes: an engine core, compressor system, and core shaft. A compressor exit pressure is defined as an average airflow pressure at the exit of the highest pressure compressor at cruise conditions. The core has an annular splitter and bypass flow. Stagnation streamlines around the engine circumference form a streamsurface. A fan is upstream the core with blades having leading and trailing edges, and a radially inner portion within the streamtube. A fan root entry pressure is an average airflow pressure across the radially inner portion leading edge of each fan blade at cruise conditions. An overall pressure ratio, OPR, is defined as the compressor exit pressure divided by the fan root entry pressure. A bypass jet velocity is defined as the jet velocity of air flow exiting the bypass exhaust nozzle at cruise conditions. A jet velocity to OPR ratio is in a range between 4.7 m/s and 7.7 m/s.

    Abstract: A highly efficient gas turbine engine is a system wherein the fan of the gas turbine engine is driven from a turbine via a gearbox, such that the fan has a lower rotational speed than the driving turbine, thereby providing efficiency gains. The efficient fan system is mated to a core that has low cooling flow requirements and/or high temperature capability, and which may have particularly low mass for a given power.
