Abstract
The present invention relates to an engine integrated auxiliary power unit. The engine comprises a high pressure spool which includes a high pressure compressor connected to a high pressure turbine and a low pressure spool which includes a low pressure compressor connected to a low pressure turbine. The engine further has a system for independently operating the high pressure spool and thus allowing the high pressure spool to function as an auxiliary power unit.
