ABSTRACT:
A simple cycle gas turbine engine which includes a variable flow booster, a small high pressure compressor, and a power turbine is described. The variable flow booster, which includes a low pressure compressor, has at least two flow paths. In one embodiment, variable bleed valves, or doors, are used to control air flow through respective booster flow paths. In one embodiment, a first flow path directs air flow around booster compressor to the core engine, and a second flow path directs air flow at least partially through the booster compressor.
