Abstract:
A gas turbine engine comprises a plurality of fan rotors. A gas generator comprises at least one compressor rotor, at least one gas generator turbine rotor, a combustion section, and a fan drive turbine downstream of at least one gas generator turbine rotor. A shaft is configured to be driven by the fan drive turbine. The shaft engages gears to drive the plurality of fan rotors. A system controls the amount of power supplied to the plurality of fan rotors. A method of operating a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
