Original Abstract Submitted
vis a gutter volume of the gutter and vis a gearbox volume. a gas turbine engine includes the gearbox assembly, a fan, a combustor that generates combustion gases, a turbine, a nacelle that surrounds the fan, and a steam system. the combustor and the turbine define a core air flowpath. core air flows through the core air flowpath. the steam system that extracts water from the combustion gases, vaporizes the water to generate steam, and injects the steam into the core air flowpath to add mass flow to the core air. a bypass ratio of the gas turbine engine is in a range of 18:1 to 100:1.
