Abstract
A turbine engine is provided that includes a fan section, a turbine engine core and a recovery system. 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. A centerline axis of the turbine engine core is offset from a centerline axis of the turbine engine. The recovery system includes an evaporator module and a condenser module. A core flowpath extends sequentially through the core compressor section, the core combustor section, the core turbine section, the evaporator module and the condenser module from an inlet into the core flowpath to an exhaust from the core flowpath.
