Abstract
A gas turbine engine power unit (10) comprises a gas generator (11) having a valve (21) located at its downstream end. The valve (21) receives the exhaust efflux of the gas generator (11) and directs it either to a plurality of turbochargers (32) to boost the output power of the unit (10) or to a plurality of heat exchangers (39) to provide regeneration of the unit (10). The valve (21) comprises a rotary portion (20) which rotates within a static portion (28) to provide alignment of apertures within both portions (20,28) to facilitate the direction of the gas generator (11) exhaust efflux.
