Abstract:
A section for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a rotor including a row of blades extending in a radial direction outwardly from a hub. The row of blades deliver flow to a bypass flow path, an intermediate flow path, and a core flow path. A first case surrounds the row of blades to establish the bypass flow path. A first flow splitter divides flow between the bypass flow path and a second duct. A row of guide vanes extends in the radial direction across the bypass flow path. A second flow splitter radially inboard of the first flow splitter divides flow from the second duct between the intermediate flow path and the core flow path. A bypass port interconnects the intermediate and bypass flow paths. A method of operation for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
