Abstract: A turbine engine includes a compressor section including a compressor, the compressor including an axial compressor stage, a variable outlet guide vane, and a centrifugal compressor stage, the variable outlet guide vane positioned between the axial compressor stage and the centrifugal compressor stage; a bleed assembly including a bleed airflow duct in airflow communication with the compressor and a bleed valve operable with the bleed airflow duct, the bleed valve including a bleed valve actuator; and a linkage assembly coupling the bleed valve actuator with the variable outlet guide vane such that that variable outlet guide vane is moveable with the bleed valve.

Abstract: A method for assembling a turbine engine including a compressor is disclosed. The method includes coupling an inlet including an inertial particle separator (IPS) and a first surface that is defined using a segment angle, to a gas turbine engine, and coupling the first surface substantially flush against a fuselage of an aircraft to reduce drag.

Abstract: An infrared suppressor system for a gas turbine engine is provided for suppressing infrared radiation associated with the hot metal parts of the engine and with the hot exhaust gases exhausted from the engine. The system features a unique arrangement of multiple baffles that are connected together as a single baffle module. The baffle arrangement permits mixing of hot and cool gas flows while eliminating line-of-sight infrared radiation in an axially compact suppressor. The baffles are additionally linked together into a single insertable baffle module that permits removal of the baffle module when infrared suppression is unnecessary.
