Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a first spool of a primary flow path and a second spool of a secondary flow path. The second spool is nonconcentric with the first spool. The second spool includes a boost compressor and a load compressor in fluid communication with an inlet plenum. An inlet duct assembly and an outlet duct assembly place the secondary flow path in communication with the primary flow path. The gas turbine includes a controller operable to vary open areas of variable inlet guide vanes to control a flow division between the boost compressor and the load compressor.
