Original Abstract Submitted
A turbine engine with an axis is provided. This turbine engine includes a fan section, a turbine engine core, a bypass flowpath, a recovery system and a core flowpath. The turbine engine core is configured to power the fan section. The turbine engine core includes a core compressor section, a core combustor section and a core turbine section. The bypass flowpath is fluidly coupled with and downstream of the fan section. The recovery system includes an evaporator module and a condenser module. The condenser module is arranged radially outboard of and axially overlaps the bypass flowpath. The core flowpath extends sequentially through the core compressor section, the core combustor section, the core turbine section, the evaporator module and the condenser module.
