Publication number: 20240318613Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine defining an engine inlet to an inlet duct, a fan duct inlet to a fan duct, and a core inlet to a core duct; a primary fan driven by the turbomachine; and a secondary fan located downstream of the primary fan within the inlet duct. The gas turbine engine defines a thrust to power airflow ratio between 3.5 and 100 and a core bypass ratio between 0.1 and 10, wherein the thrust to power airflow ratio is a ratio of an airflow through a bypass passage over the turbomachine plus an airflow through the fan duct to an airflow through the core duct, and wherein the core bypass ratio is a ratio of the airflow through the fan duct to the airflow through the core duct.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Brandon Wayne Miller, Randy M. Vondrell, David Marion Ostdiek, Craig Williams Higgins, Alexander Kimberley Simpson, Syed Arif Khalid, Jeffrey S. Spruill, Daniel Lawrence Tweedt, William Joseph Solomon, Kevin Edward Hinderliter
