VARIABLE CYCLE JET ENGINE
A gas turbine engine includes a core engine section, including a compressor section, a primary combustor and a turbine section positioned within a core flow path of the gas turbine engine; a ramjet section, including a supplemental combustor disposed within a ram duct, the ram duct located radially outside the core engine section; and a core engine housing positioned radially outward of the core engine section and radially inward of the ramjet section.
TURBOFAN GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH COMBUSTED COMPRESSOR BLEED FLOW
A gas turbine engine includes a core section including a compressor, a main combustor, and a main turbine. Combustion products from the main combustor drive rotation of the turbine and the compressor. A power turbine is fluidly connected to the main turbine and driven by exhaust from the main turbine. The gas turbine engine further includes a fan section having a fan rotor located fluidly upstream of the core section. The power turbine is operably connected to the fan rotor to drive rotation of the fan rotor via rotation of the power turbine. The gas turbine engine includes a bleed arrangement having one or more bleed passages configured to divert a bleed airflow from the compressor around the main combustor and main turbine, and reintroduce the bleed airflow into the power turbine.
AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM WITH CLUTCHED AUGMENTOR PUMP
