Abstract
The present invention relates to a variable cycle boost propulsor system for use on an aircraft. The variable cycle boost propulsor system includes an engine, a turbine, a fan connected to the turbine, and a valve system for delivering the fluid output from the engine to the turbine for driving the turbine and the fan and thereby generating additional thrust for the aircraft. The engine is also used to provide power to one or more systems onboard the aircraft.
