Abstract
The present invention is a unique splitter of a core engine compressor in a double bypass, variable cycle engine. The splitter is extended forward to a second fan section. The extended splitter may divide the rotor blades into outer and inner portions to allow the flow past these portions to act essentially aerodynamically independent of each other in a single or double bypass mode of operation of the variable cycle engine.
