Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section that includes a fan with fan blades. The fan section drives air along a bypass flow path in a bypass duct. A gear reduction is in driving engagement with the fan and has a gear reduction ratio of greater than 3.0 and less than 4.0. A low spool includes a low pressure turbine that drives a low pressure compressor and drives the gear reduction to drive the fan at a speed slower than the low pressure turbine. A high spool includes a high pressure turbine that drives a high pressure compressor. The high pressure compressor includes a pressure ratio of greater than 6.5 and less than 11.5. A ratio of a product of a pressure ratio of the fan with a pressure ratio of the low pressure compressor pressure to the pressure ratio of the high pressure compressor is greater than 0.35 and less than 0.90. An exhaust gas exit temperature is greater than 900 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 1000 degrees Fahrenheit at maximum take-off.

Abstract: The flow through the core of a hybrid pulse detonation combustion system is passed through a compressor and then separated into a primary flow, that passes directly to the combustor, and a bypass flow, which is routed to a portion of the system to be used to cool components of the system. The bypass flow is routed to a nozzle of the pulse detonation combustor. The flow is then passed back into the primary flow through the core downstream of where it was extracted.

Abstract: The present application provides a pulse detonation turbine engine. The pulse detonation turbine engine may include one or more pulse detonation combustors to produce a flow of combustion gases, a turbine positioned downstream of the pulse detonation combustors such that the flow of combustion gases drives the turbine, and a catalytic converter positioned downstream of the pulse detonation combustors such that the flow of combustion gases passes therethrough.

Abstract: The flow through the core of a hybrid pulse detonation combustion system is passed through a compressor and then separated into a primary flow, that passes directly to the combustor, and a bypass flow, which is routed to a portion of the system to be used to cool components of the system. The bypass includes a pump that raises the pressure of the bypass flow sufficient to deliver it to downstream stations of the engine that contain combustion products that are at a higher pressure than the compressor exit.
