Abstract: A turbofan engine comprises a fan having fan blades. A compressor is in communication with the fan section. The fan is configured to communicate a portion of air into a bypass path defining a bypass area outwardly of the compressor and a portion into the compressor. A bypass ratio is defined as air communicated through the bypass path relative to air communicated to the compressor being greater than about 6.0. A combustor is in fluid communication with the compressor. A turbine is in communication with the combustor. The turbine has a first turbine section that includes two or more stages and a second turbine section that includes at least two stages. A ratio of airfoils in the first turbine section to the bypass ratio is less than about 170. The first turbine section includes a maximum gas path radius. A ratio of the maximum gas path radius to a maximum radius of the fan blades is less than about 0.50. A speed reduction mechanism is coupled to the fan and rotatable by the turbine.

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: A gas turbine engine has a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section. An associated fluid is to be cooled and an associated fluid is to be heated. A transcritical vapor cycle heats the fluid to be heated, and cools the fluid to be cooled. The transcritical vapor cycle includes a gas cooler in which the fluid to be heated is heated by a refrigerant in the transcritical vapor cycle. An evaporator heat exchanger at which the fluid to be cooled is cooled by the refrigerant in the transcritical vapor cycle. A compressor upstream of the gas cooler compresses the refrigerant to a pressure above a critical point for the refrigerant. An expansion device expands the refrigerant downstream of the gas cooler, with the evaporator heat exchanger being downstream of the expansion device, and such that the refrigerant passing through the gas cooler to heat the fluid to be heated is generally above the critical point.

The cooling compressor compresses ng air downstream of the heat exchanger, and delivers air into the high pressure turbine.

Abstract: A lower pressure tap is connected to a first heat exchanger to be cooled by cooling air, and then to a selection valve. The selection valve selectively delivers the lower pressure tap air to a boost compressor. The lower pressure tap air downstream of the boost compressor is connected to cool the at least one turbine. The selection valve also selectively delivers a portion of the lower pressure tap air across a first cooling turbine, and to a line associated with an air delivery system for a cabin on an associated aircraft. A portion of the air downstream of the first cooling turbine is connected to a second cooling turbine, and air downstream of the second cooling turbine is connected for use in a cold loop A method of operating an air supply system is also disclosed.
