Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a fan and a compressor section that is fluidly connected to the fan. The compressor includes a high pressure compressor and a low pressure compressor. A combustor is fluidly connected to the compressor section. A turbine section is fluidly connected to the combustor. The turbine section includes a high pressure turbine coupled to the high pressure compressor via a first shaft. A low pressure turbine is coupled to the low pressure compressor via a second shaft. A geared architecture interconnects between the second shaft and the fan. The gas turbine engine is a high bypass geared aircraft engine having a bypass ratio of greater than six (6). The low pressure turbine has a pressure ratio that is greater than 5, and the geared architecture includes a gear reduction ratio of greater than 2.5:1.
