Abstract:
An example gas turbine engine includes a propulsor assembly consisting of a fan module and a fan drive turbine module, an epicyclic gear train, a high spool and a low spool. A weight of the propulsor assembly is less than 40% of a total weight of a gas turbine engine. The high spool includes an outer shaft, a high pressure turbine and a high pressure compressor. The low spool includes an inner shaft, a low pressure turbine and a low pressure compressor. The inner shaft drives the propulsor through the gear train to drive the propulsor. A weight of the propulsor is greater than a weight of the low pressure turbine.
