Abstract: An engine comprises an air inlet configured to receive air; a first heat exchanger arrangement arranged downstream of the air inlet, having a first heat exchanger inlet configured to receive at least a portion of the air received by the air inlet, and being configured to cool the air received by the first heat exchanger inlet; one or more turbomachinery components arranged downstream of an outlet of the first heat exchanger arrangement, and being configured to receive air; a first flow path arranged to extend from the air inlet to the first heat exchanger inlet; a second flow path arranged to extend from the air inlet to the one or more turbomachinery components, the second flow path bypassing the first heat exchanger inlet; and a flow control arrangement comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first and second portions being configured to be movable relative to one another to selectively obstruct the second flow path.
