  • Publication number: 20200400101
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes an engine core including a turbine, compressor, and core shaft connecting the turbine to compressor, wherein a compressor exit temperature defined as an average temperature of airflow at exit from compressor at cruise conditions and a core entry temperature defined as an average temperature of airflow entering engine core at cruise conditions, and a fan located upstream of the engine core, wherein a fan rotor entry temperature defined as an average temperature of airflow across leading edge each fan blade at cruise conditions and fan tip rotor exit temperature defined as an average temperature of airflow across a radially outer portion of each fan blade at the trailing edge at cruise conditions. A core compressor temperature rise defined as: the ? ? compressor ? ? exit ? ? temperature the ? ? core ? ? entry ? ? temperature .

  • Publication number: 20200049065
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine is highly efficient. The fan of the gas turbine engine is driven from a turbine via a gearbox, such that the fan has a lower rotational speed than the driving turbine, thereby providing efficiency gains. The efficient fan system is mated to a core that has low cooling flow requirements and/or high temperature capability, and which may have particularly low mass for a given power.
