a core engine generating an exhaust gas flow, the core engine including a compressor where inlet airflow is compressed and communicated to a combustor where the compressed airflow is mixed with fuel and ignited to generate the exhaust gas flow that is expanded through the turbine section;

a condenser where water is extracted from the exhaust gas flow;

an evaporator disposed within an exhaust gas flow path where heat is input into the water extracted by the condenser without superheat to generate a first steam flow;

a steam turbine where the first steam flow is expanded and cooled; and

a superheater disposed within the exhaust gas flow path where additional heat is input into the first steam flow exhausted from the steam turbine to generate a second steam flow, wherein the second steam flow is injected into a core flow path of the core engine wherein the exhaust gas flow is communicated through the superheater before being communicated through the evaporator.
