Original Abstract Submitted
A gas turbine engine is provided that includes a high pressure compressor (HPC), a combustor section, a high pressure turbine (HPT), and a bypass tangential on board injector (TOBI) system. The combustor section has a combustor. A core gas path extends through the HPC, the combustor section, and the HPT. The bypass TOBI system extends circumferentially around the engine axial centerline, and has a plurality of nozzles, inner and outer radial sides, a plurality of first type and second type radial passages configured to allow the gas from the HPC to pass from the inner radial side of the bypass TOBI system to the outer radial side of the bypass TOBI system, wherein the first type radial passages are differently configured from the second type radial passages.
