A propulsion system includes a turbine engine and a ramjet engine. A turbine engine inlet section restriction device permits an inlet airflow to a turbine engine inlet in a first (low speed) operating state of the propulsion system, and restricts the inlet airflow to the turbine engine inlet in a second (high speed) operating state of the propulsion system. A combustor inlet flow control device, in the first operating state, provides an airflow from a compressor to the turbine engine combustor, and restricts an airflow from a ramjet bleed air passage, and, in the second operating state, provides a ramjet inlet bleed airflow to the turbine engine combustor, while restricting airflow from the compressor. In the second operating state, the turbine engine drives at least one accessory gearbox to drive at least one accessory component.

A gas turbine engine includes an inner annular combustor radially inboard of an outer annular combustor. An outer variable turbine vane array is downstream of the outer annular combustor and an inner variable turbine vane array downstream of the inner annular combustor.

The engine (10) includes a low spool (16) disposed aft of an air inlet (12) and a high spool (34) disposed aft of the low spool (16). An intake reverse-duct (44) is disposed radially outward of the high spool (34) and reverses direction of low pressure compressed air from the low spool (16) into a forward-flow high pressure compressor (40) of the high spool (34). A discharge reverse-manifold (48) directs flow of an exhaust gas stream (50) from a forward-flow low pressure turbine (20) into a rearward-flow direction and into at least one pulse detonation firing tube (54). An annular bypass air duct (72) directs cooling air along the engine (10)The at least, one firing tube is positioned radially outward of the high spool (34), overlies the high spool (34) and is also positioned within the bypass air duct (72).

An aerospace turbofan engine that injects oxygen-enriched gas from an inlet includes an oxygen-enriched gas injection component, a body structure, an afterburner middle portion and a first afterburner outer ring. An aerospace turbofan engine that injects oxygen-enriched gas from an inlet and an afterburner individually or simultaneously includes an oxygen-enriched gas injection component, a body structure, an afterburner middle portion and a second afterburner outer ring. The aerospace turbofan engines which fully utilize oxygen in the atmosphere for combustion and work in various flight altitude ranges adopt regenerative cooling-type afterburners with acoustic cavity and baffle plates, so that an aircraft can fly to an altitude of 20-50 km and reach a speed of Mach 2-5. Variants of the aerospace turbofan engines are disclosed.

A gas turbine engine includes a bypass duct and a rotating detonation augmentor. The bypass duct is configured to conduct air through a flow path arranged around an engine core of the gas turbine engine to provide thrust for propelling the gas turbine engine. The rotating detonation augmentor is located in the bypass duct and configured to be selectively operated to detonate fuel and a portion of the air to increase the thrust for propelling the gas turbine engine.

An aspect includes a system including a high compressor of a gas turbine engine having a ratio of a cold-rotor build clearance to a span between 0.7% and 7%. The cold-rotor build clearance is defined for a plurality of rotor blades of the high compressor with respect to an engine casing assembly interior surface of the high compressor, and the span is defined as a gap between a rotor disk of the high compressor and the engine casing assembly interior surface of the high compressor for at least a last two stages of the high compressor closest to a combustor section of the gas turbine engine. The system also includes at least two bowed rotor management systems for the gas turbine engine to prevent damage to the rotor blades for a bowed rotor condition of the high compressor under a plurality of operating conditions.
