ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine power plant comprises a main gas turbine engine terminating in a jet pipe in which a free turbine is mounted. The free turbine is adapted to drive an auxiliary compressor. Means are provided such that a portion of the gas turbine engine efflux may be directed through the auxiliary turbine such that the auxiliary compressor augments the efflux from the main engine. Alternatively the entire gas turbine engine efflux may pass directly through the jet pipe.
