Abstract
An aircraft system is provided that includes a thrust rotor and a powerplant coupled to and configured to drive rotation of the thrust rotor. The powerplant includes a gas turbine engine, a drivetrain and a fluid motor. The gas turbine engine includes a rotating assembly, a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section and a flowpath extending through the compressor section, the combustor section and the turbine section. The rotating assembly includes a turbine rotor in the turbine section. The turbine rotor is configured to convert fluid power of combustion products flowing through the flowpath within the turbine section into mechanical power for driving rotation of the rotating assembly during a mode of engine operation. The drivetrain is configured to rotatably couple the fluid motor to the rotating assembly. The fluid motor is configured to boost the mechanical power for driving the rotation of the rotating assembly during the mode of engine operation.
