1. A turbine engine with an axis, comprising:
a fan section;
a turbine engine core configured to power the fan section, the turbine engine core including a core compressor section, a core combustor section and a core turbine section;
a bypass flowpath fluidly coupled with and downstream of the fan section;
a recovery system including an evaporator module and a condenser module, the condenser module arranged radially outboard of and axially overlapping the bypass flowpath;
a core flowpath extending sequentially through the core compressor section, the core combustor section, the core turbine section, the evaporator module and the condenser module; and
a flow circuit including the condenser module and a second condenser module, the flow circuit configured to circulate a working fluid through the condenser module and the second condenser module;
the second condenser module arranged radially inboard of the bypass flowpath.
