Abstract: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes a supplemental thrust section and a duct. The supplemental thrust section includes a rotating detonation combustor. The duct includes a supplemental thrust section inlet fluidly coupled with and leading to the rotating detonation combustor. The supplemental thrust section inlet has a flow area that decreases as at least a first portion of the supplemental thrust section inlet extends towards the rotating detonation combustor.

Abstract: A propulsion system, the propulsion system comprising a rotating element, a stationary element, and an inlet between the rotating element and the stationary element, wherein the inlet passes radially inward of the stationary element; wherein the inlet passes radially inward of the stationary element; wherein the inlet leads to an inlet duct containing a ducted fan having an axis of rotation and a plurality of blades; and wherein the inlet duct divides into a first duct and a second duct, separate from the first duct. A method of operating a propulsion system, comprising the steps of: operating a first rotating fan assembly to produce a first stream of air; directing a portion of the first stream of air into a second ducted rotating fan assembly; operating the second ducted rotating fan assembly to produce a second stream of air; dividing the second stream of air into a core stream and a fan stream; and directing the core stream into a gas turbine engine core.
