ABSTRACT:
The diameter of a gas turbine engine may be reduced through the use of a construction including a monorotor (44) journaled for rotation and mounting compressor blades (48) at one end (46) and turbine blades (56) at an opposite end (54). An axial diffuser (96) receives the discharge from the compressor blades (84) and is contained in a plenum (98). A reverse flow, annular combustor (83) is disposed about the rotor (44) and has a dome (100) whose height is a minor fraction of the axial length of the combustor (83) and which discharges to an annular turbine nozzle (77) having axial turbine nozzle blades (76).
