A gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine having an engine core including a high-pressure compressor, a combustion section, a high-pressure turbine, and a high-pressure shaft coupled to the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine. The engine core has a length (LCORE), and the high-pressure compressor has an exit stage diameter (DCORE). The high-pressure compressor defines a high-pressure compressor exit area (AHPCExit) in square inches. The gas turbine engine defines a redline exhaust gas temperature (EGT) in degrees Celsius, a total sea level static thrust output (FnTotal) in pounds, and a corrected specific thrust, wherein the corrected specific thrust is greater than or equal to 42 and less than or equal to 90, the corrected specific determined as follows: FnTotal×EGT/(AHPCExit2×1000). The high-pressure shaft is characterized by a high-speed shaft rating (HSR) from 1.5 to 6.2, and a ratio of LCORE/DCORE is from 2.1 to 4.3.
