Zusammenfassung:	A gas turbine engine having a longitudinal centerline axis therethrough, including a fan section at a forward end of the gas turbine engine for producing a first compressed air flow; a first compressor positioned downstream of the fan section and in flow communication with at least a portion of the first compressed air flow, wherein the first compressor produces a second compressed air flow having a designated pressure; a combustor positioned downstream of the first compressor and in flow communication with second compressed air flow, wherein the combustor produces combustion products from a mixture of fuel and air; a first turbine positioned downstream of the combustor and in flow communication with combustion products, wherein the first turbine powers the first compressor by means of a first rotatable drive shaft connected therebetween; and, a second turbine positioned downstream of the first turbine and in flow communication with the combustion products exiting the first turbine, wherein the second turbine powers the fan section by means of a second drive shaft connected therebetween. The gas turbine engine produces no more than a predetermined amount of emissions during an operating cycle.
