Abstract
A particle separator for use with a turbine engine is arranged to divide a flow of air into a radially inner air flow and a radially outer air flow. The particle separator is further arranged to separate inner particles from the inner air flow to allow air from the inner air flow to enter the turbine engine without the inner particles and arranged to separate outer particles from the outer air flow to allow air from the outer air flow to enter the turbine engine without the outer particles.
