Abstract:
An aircraft gas turbine engine (110) comprises first and second non-coaxial propulsors (113a, 113b), each propulsor (113a, 113b) being driven by a common gas turbine engine core (176) comprising a propulsor drive turbine (143) arranged to drive the first and second propulsors (113a, 113b) via a propulsor drive coupling (127). The core (176) further comprises a first core module (190) comprising a first compressor (129) and a first turbine (131) interconnected by a first shaft (177), and a second core module (191) comprising a second compressor (128) and the propulsor drive turbine (143) interconnected by a second shaft (127), the first and second core modules (190, 191) being axially spaced.
