Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a bypass duct and a rotating detonation augmentor. The bypass duct is configured to conduct air through a flow path arranged around an engine core of the gas turbine engine to provide thrust for propelling the gas turbine engine. The rotating detonation augmentor is located in the bypass duct and configured to be selectively operated to detonate fuel and a portion of the air to increase the thrust for propelling the gas turbine engine.
