Abstract

A turbine engine for an aircraft. The turbine engine includes a combustor, a turbine, a boiler, a steam turbine, and a reheat boiler. The combustor generates combustion gases and the turbine is positioned downstream of the combustor to receive the combustion gases and to rotate the turbine. The boiler is positioned downstream of the combustor to receive the combustion gases and to boil water to generate steam. The steam turbine is fluidly coupled to the boiler to receive the steam from the boiler and to rotate the steam turbine. Each of the turbine and the steam turbine is drivingly coupled to a core shaft to rotate the core shaft. The reheat boiler is fluidly coupled to the steam turbine to receive the steam from the steam turbine and to reheat the steam. The combustor is fluidly coupled to the reheat boiler to receive the reheated steam.
