A turbojet engine capable of operation in an Air Turbo Rocket (ATR) mode includes a compressor, a rotatable turbine wheel comprising turbine blades, a non-rotating guide vane ring comprising guide vanes, a turbine shaft configured to power said compressor, a combustor, a gas generator, and a main combustor. The main combustor is configured to combust hot, fuel rich gas from the gas generator in air compressed by the compressor. Hot, fuel rich gas from the gas generator is directed towards the turbine blades by a directing means.

A turbine component includes a body having a pair of spaced walls, with at least one of the walls for facing a fluid flow when mounted in a gas turbine engine. There are a plurality of wall cooling passages having a generally boomerang shape such that a peak apex is spaced from the wall and an indent apex is adjacent to the wall, with the plurality of wall cooling passages having interior sides extending from the peak apex toward the wall to define a corner. Outer sides extend from the corners with a component away from the wall and to the indent apex. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

A turbine engine having an inducer assembly. The inducer assembly includes a centrifugal separator fluidly coupled to an inducer with an inducer inlet and an inducer outlet. The centrifugal separator includes a body, an angular velocity increaser to form a concentrated-particle stream and a reduced-particle stream, a flow splitter, and an exit conduit fluidly coupled to the body to receive the reduced-particle stream and define a separator outlet.

A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine. The turbine blade includes an airfoil having a tip cavity. The tip cavity has a floor bounded by a wall. A pocket opening is formed in the wall proximate a trailing edge of the turbine blade. A passageway communicates cooling medium from an internal cooling circuit to a cooling hole formed in part through the floor and in part through the trailing edge.

A turbine blade is provided with an airfoil portion having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a pressure surface and a suction surface which extend between the leading edge and the trailing edge, the airfoil portion internally forming a cooling passage. The cooling passage includes: a first cooling passage located closer to the pressure surface than the suction surface; and a second cooling passage located closer to the suction surface than the pressure surface. The first cooling passage and the second cooling passage are separated by a partition member disposed in the airfoil portion. At least one communication space connecting the first cooling passage and the second cooling passage is formed in the partition member.

A turbine blade having cooling holes formed therein and a turbine including the same are provided. The turbine blade includes an airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge formed thereon and a cooling passage defined for flow of a cooling fluid therethrough, and a cooling hole configured to communicate between the cooling passage and outside in the airfoil and having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the cooling hole includes an expanded portion and a grooved portion formed in the outlet, the grooved portion being recessed from the expanded portion toward the trailing edge.
