Zusammenfassung:	A gas turbine engine includes a cracking device that is configured to decompose a portion of an ammonia flow into a flow of component parts of the ammonia flow, a thermal transfer device that is configured to heat the ammonia flow to a temperature above 500° C. (932° F.), a combustor that is configured to receive and combust the flow of component parts of the ammonia flow to generate a high energy gas flow, a compressor section that is configured to supply compressed air to the combustor, and a turbine section in flow communication with the high energy gas flow produced by the combustor and mechanically coupled to drive the compressor section.
