Abstract: A boundary layer ingestion engine includes a gas generator and a turbine fluidly connected to the gas generator. A fan is mechanically linked to the turbine via a shaft such that rotation of the turbine is translated to the fan. A boundary layer ingestion inlet is aligned with an expected boundary layer, such that the boundary layer ingestion inlet is configured to ingest fluid from a boundary layer during operation of the boundary layer ingestion engine.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a main compressor section having a high pressure compressor with a downstream discharge, and more upstream locations. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine. A tap taps air from at least one of the more upstream locations in the compressor section, passes the tapped air through a heat exchanger and then to a cooling compressor. The cooling compressor compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger, and delivers air into the high pressure turbine. An intercooling system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: In a featured embodiment, a gas turbine engine has a first compressor rotor driven by a first turbine rotor, and a second compressor rotor driven by a second turbine rotor. The second compressor rotor is upstream of the first compressor rotor and the first turbine rotor is upstream of the second turbine rotor. An air mixing system taps air from a location upstream of the first compressor rotor for delivery to an environmental control system. The air mixing system receives air from a first air source and a second air source. The first air source includes air at a first pressure upstream of the first compressor rotor. The second air source includes air at a lower second pressure. At least one valve controls a mixture of air from the first and second sources to achieve a predetermined pressure for the environmental control system.

Abstract: An electromechanical component arrangement for a gas turbine engine includes a mechanical component located at a first side of a firewall of a gas turbine engine and an electronic module of the electromechanical component connected to the mechanical component by a module cable. The electronic module is inserted through a module opening in the firewall from the first side to a second side, the second side having a lower operating temperature than the first side. A cover plate is installed over the module opening after the electronic module is inserted therethrough.

Abstract: A propulsor and mount arrangement comprises a propulsor rotor and a fan casing surrounding the propulsor rotor. The fan casing receives two side mounts and a thrust link pivotally attached to the fan casing at a location that will be within 10° of a vertically lowermost location when the propulsor is mounted on an aircraft, and the side mounts being at circumferentially opposed positions, and within a lower 270° when the propulsor is mounted on an aircraft. At least a portion of both the side mounts, and a pivot point connect the thrust link to the fan casing in a common plane defined perpendicular to a rotational axis of the propulsor rotor. An aircraft is also disclosed.

Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes first and second turbine engines mounted within a fuselage of the aircraft. The first turbine engine includes a first engine core that drives a first propulsor disposed about a first propulsor axis. The second turbine engine includes a second engine core and a second propulsor disposed about a second propulsor axis parallel to the first propulsor axis. The first engine core and the second engine core are mounted at an angle relative to corresponding ones of the first and second propulsor axes.
