    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a nose cone at an inlet end, and spaced radially inwardly of a nacelle. A compressor is downstream of the nose cone. A core inlet delivers air downstream of the nose cone into the compressor. An inlet particle separator includes a manifold for delivering air radially outwardly of the core inlet. Air delivered by the inlet particle separator passes over a heat exchanger before passing to an outlet.

    Abstract: An engine system for an aircraft (100) includes a first gas turbine engine (20A), a first core turning system (202A), a second gas turbine engine (20B), and a second core turning system (202B). The engine system also includes a controller (214) operable to shutdown the first gas turbine engine responsive to determining that the aircraft has landed and operate in the second gas turbine engine in a taxi mode while using the first core turning system to cool the first gas turbine engine. The controller is further operable to shutdown the second gas turbine engine and disable the first core turning system based on a power-down condition, restart the first gas turbine engine and use the second core turning system to cool the second gas turbine engine based on a restart condition, and complete cooling of the second gas turbine prior to restarting the second gas turbine engine.

    Abstract: An embodiment of an engine assembly includes a combustion turbine engine (10; 110) having at least a first compressor spool, a first turbine spool, a first shaft (44; 144) connecting the first compressor spool and the first turbine spool, and a combustor (16; 116) disposed in a working gas flow path between the first compressor spool and the first turbine spool. A first controller (46; 146) is programmed with a surge map, and configured to operate the combustion turbine engine (10; 110) in a range extending between a first suppressed idle mode, a second base idle mode, and a maximum takeoff power rating mode. An idle speed suppressor (36) includes at least one idle assist motor (48) connected to the first shaft (44; 144) of the combustion turbine engine (10; 110). A second controller (52; 152) is configured to manage operation of the idle speed suppressor (36) relative to the combustion turbine engine (10; 110) during times of minimum power demand, such that operating the idle speed suppressor (36) increases a compressor speed in the first suppressed idle mode relative to a compressor speed in the second base idle mode.

    Abstract: An information node (100) is presented for use within a thermally challenged environment. The cooled information node has a case (110) with a thermoelectric conditioner (120). A thermoelectric controller (190) contained within the case operates the thermoelectric conditioner (120). A transceiver/power conditioner (160) connects to both the thermoelectric controller (190) and a processor (180) and is configured to receive and transmit data signals from an outside source (65). The cooled information node (100) also has a signal input/output module connected to each of the transceiver/power conditioner (160), the processor (180) and the thermoelectric controller (190). The signal input/output module is configured to receive and transmit another data signal from another outside source (80). The information node (100) may be used within an electronic network connecting multiple outside sources (100) to a central source (65). Furthermore, the information node (100) may be used within a gas turbine engine (20) for communication between engine components (80) and the electronic engine control (65) of the gas turbine engine.
