Hello. CliveL. From Dr. Abernethy, he describes the Bleed system's purpose as twofold. First, reduce the temp in the forward compressor section, and second, unblock the "choke" in the aft part of the Compressor.
Since the last little bit of velocity occurs with a reduction in fuel burn, is it possible that reducing the "choke" opens up the core/gaspath, reducing drag?
Also, doesn't this reduction in drag unleash some more power from the Bypass?
I am not fearful of appearing stupid, but this is what I glean from the patent language.
How wrong am I?
