Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft includes a fan section, a turbine section, a compressor section, and an engine bleed system. The compressor section includes a low compressor stage proximate to the fan section, a high compressor stage axially downstream from the low compressor stage and proximate to the turbine section, and a mid-compressor stage including variable vane assemblies distributed axially between the low and high compressor stage. The engine bleed system includes engine bleed taps with a mid-compressor bleed tap axially between two of the variable vane assemblies, at least one low stage bleed tap axially upstream from the mid-compressor bleed tap, and at least one high stage bleed tap axially downstream from the mid-compressor bleed tap. An external manifold is in pneumatic communication with the mid-compressor bleed tap. A valve system can select one engine bleed tap as a bleed air source for an aircraft use.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine turbine has a high pressure turbine configured to rotate with a high pressure compressor as a high pressure spool in a first direction about a central axis and a low pressure turbine configured to rotate with a low pressure compressor as a low pressure spool in the first direction about the central axis. A power density is greater than or equal to about 1.5 and less than or equal to about 5.5 lbf/cubic inches. A fan is connected to the low pressure spool via a speed changing mechanism and rotates in the first direction.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a fan includes a plurality of fan blades rotatable about an axis. A compressor section includes at least a first compressor section and a second compressor section, wherein components of the second compressor section are configured to operate at an average exit temperature that is between about 1000° F. and about 1500° F. A combustor is in fluid communication with the compressor section. A turbine section is in fluid communication with the combustor. A geared architecture is driven by the turbine section for rotating the fan about the axis.

Abstract: A disclosed gas turbine engine includes a fan section delivering air into a compressor section. An environmental control system includes a higher pressure tap at a higher pressure location in the compressor section, and a lower pressure tap at a lower pressure location. The lower pressure tap communicates to a first passage leading to a downstream outlet, and having a second passage leading into a compressor section of a turbocompressor. The higher pressure tap leads into a turbine section of the turbocompressor such that air in the higher pressure tap drives the turbine section to in turn drive the compressor section of the turbocompressor. A combined outlet of the compressor section and the turbine section of the turbocompressor intermixes and passes downstream to be delivered to an aircraft use.

Abstract: A disclosed gas turbine engine includes a compressor section including a first compressor disposed axially forward of a second compressor, a combustor in fluid communication with the compressor section and a turbine section in fluid communication with the combustor. The turbine section includes a first turbine driving the first compressor and a second turbine driving the second compressor. An inner shaft defines a driving link between the second compressor and the second turbine and an outer shaft defines a driving link between the first compressor and the first turbine. The inner shaft and the outer shaft are concentric about a common axis of rotation. A bumper is disposed on the inner shaft within an axial region common to an aft portion of the outer shaft for accommodating interaction between the inner and outer shafts during high load conditions.
