An air cycle machine for extracting bleed air from a gas turbine engine of an aircraft is provided. The air cycle machine extracts a stream of low pressure bleed air and a stream of high pressure bleed air from a compressor section of the gas turbine engine. The air cycle machine includes a compressor that receives the stream of low pressure bleed air and a turbine that receives the stream of high pressure bleed air. The stream of high pressure bleed air is expanded as it drives the turbine, and the stream of low pressure bleed air is compressed by the compressor. The resulting streams of bleed air are substantially the same pressure, such that they may be merged using a junction into a combined bleed air stream having a temperature and pressure suitable for use by a variety of aircraft accessory systems, such as an environmental control system. The air cycle machine may further power or be powered from an electrical storage device or generator on the fan.
