Abstract
A gas turbine engine for a small aircraft such as a UAV having a bypass flow with a variable area bypass nozzle located at an outlet of the bypass channel, the nozzle having one position with a maximum flow area and a second position with a minimal flow area. The compressor is a twin stream compressor with an inner flow path for compressed air to the combustor and an outer flow path for the bypass channel. A fan stage can be used in front of the compressor.
