Abstract
A gas turbine engine assembly including a tap that is at a location up stream of the combustor section for drawing a bleed airflow. An exhaust heat exchanger is configured to transfer thermal energy from the exhaust gas flow into the bleed airflow and communicate the heated bleed airflow into the turbine section where it is expanded to drive the turbine section.
