Abstract

See full text

An aircraft propulsion system includes a core engine that includes a core flow path where a core airflow is compressed in a compressor section, communicated to a combustor section, mixed with fuel and ignited to generate a gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section for powering a primary propulsor. The aircraft propulsion system further includes a tap that is at a location upstream of the combustor section where a bleed airflow is drawn, a heat exchanger where the bleed airflow is heated by the gas flow, a power turbine through which heated bleed airflow is expanded to generate a work output, and a secondary propulsor that is driven by the work output that is generated by the power turbine.
