GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH HIGH SPEED LOW PRESSURE TURBINE SECTION AND BEARING SUPPORT FEATURES
A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section including a first compressor, a turbine section including a first turbine and a second turbine, a first shaft and a second shaft, the first shaft interconnecting the first turbine and the second compressor, and a geared architecture. The first shaft is supported on a first bearing in an overhung manner. A performance ratio is between 0.5 and 1.5.
ROTOR ASSEMBLY, ASSOCIATED METHOD OF ASSEMBLY, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT THEREFOR
A computer program product contains computer-readable instructions, which, when operated on by a computer, performs the following method. A combination is determined of relative circumferential positions of the individual rotor components associated to a bow shape configuration of the centers of mass along the axially-extending sequence based on geometrical reference values concerning individual rotor components each having a center of mass and configured to be assembled to one another in an axial sequence to form a rotor assembly, the geometrical reference values being stored in a computer readable memory accessible to the computer.
MIXING BLEED AND RAM AIR AT A TURBINE INLET OF A COMPRESSING DEVICE
An air conditioning system for an aircraft is provided. The air conditioning system includes a first rotating component and a second rotating component. The first rotating component includes a compressor and a turbine. The compressor pressurizes a first medium. The first turbine receives a mixture of a second medium and a pressurized form of the first medium. The second rotating component includes a fan.

ENERGY FLOW OF AN ADVANCED ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM
An airplane is provided. The airplane includes a compressing device. The compressing device includes a turbine with a first inlet and a second inlet. The turbine provides energy by expanding mediums. The first inlet is configured to receive a first medium of the mediums. The second inlet is configured to receive a second medium of the mediums. The compressing device includes a compressor and a motor. The compressor receives a first energy derived from the first and second mediums being expanded across the turbine during a first mode of the compressing device, receives a second energy derived from the first medium being expanded across the turbine during a second mode of the compressing device, and compresses the second medium in accordance with the first mode or the second mode. The motor provides a supplementary energy to the compressor
