Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan section, a core engine, a bypass passage, and a bypass ratio defined as the volume of air passing into the bypass passage compared to the volume of air passing into the core engine, the bypass ratio being greater than or equal to about 8 at cruise power. A gear arrangement is configured to drive the fan section. A compressor section includes both a first compressor section and a second compressor section. A turbine section is configured to drive the gear arrangement, and may have a low pressure turbine with four stages and a low pressure turbine pressure ratio greater than about 5:1, and a high pressure turbine with two stages. An overall pressure ratio is provided by the combination of a pressure ratio across the first compressor section and a pressure ratio across the second compressor section, and greater than about 40, measured at sea level and at a static, full-rated takeoff power. The pressure ratio across the second compressor section is greater than about 7.
