Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a core flowpath for flowing a core stream, a second flowpath located radially outward from the core flowpath for flowing a second stream, and an auxiliary flowpath located radially outward from the second flowpath for flowing an auxiliary stream. A heat exchanging device is constructed and arranged to divert a portion of the second stream into the auxiliary flowpath. A turbine exhaust case is constructed and arranged to flow the auxiliary stream into the core flowpath for mixing with the core stream.

Abstract: An aspect includes a dirt mitigation system for a gas turbine engine. The dirt mitigation system includes a plurality of bleeds of the gas turbine engine and a control system configured to determine a particulate ingestion estimate indicative of dirt ingested in the gas turbine engine. The control system is further configured to determine one or more operating parameters of the gas turbine engine and alter a bleed control schedule of the gas turbine engine to purge at least a portion of the dirt ingested in the gas turbine engine through one or more of the bleeds of the gas turbine engine based on the particulate ingestion estimate and the one or more operating parameters.

Abstract: An aircraft gas turbine engine system comprises first and second gas turbine engines connected by an inter-engine gas path. The first gas turbine engine has a first spool with a first compressor section, and a second spool with a second compressor section downstream of and rotationally independent from the first compressor section. The second gas turbine engine is configured to provide power to at least one of the first and second spools of the first gas turbine engine. The inter-engine gas path is disposed to receive gas flow bled from a bleed location in the first gas turbine engine downstream of the first compressor section, and to supply this gas flow to an inlet of the second gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes low and high spools constructed and arranged to rotate about an engine axis. The low spool drives at least one leading stage of a fan section and the high spool drives an aft stage of the fan section. The aft stage may generally include a bypass duct for controllably flowing a bypass stream directly from the leading stage and controllably and/or selectively into an auxiliary flowpath and/or into a second flowpath both located radially outward from a core flowpath.
