    摘要: A fan drive turbine (112) drives a drive shaft (114). A compressor section and a turbine section rotate about a rotational axis, with the turbine section positioned in a downstream direction. A fan has fan blades (102) and a fan hub (103) positioned radially within a fan case (104), with the fan case (104) defining a bypass duct (105). A fan inlet guide vane case (106) is upstream of the fan blades (102) and a fan exit guide vane case (108) is mounted downstream. The drive shaft (114) is mounted on at least one input drive shaft bearing (116) inwardly of the fan inlet guide vane case (106). The drive shaft (114) drives a flexible coupling (120) to in turn drive a gear reduction (122). The gear reduction (122) drives a fan drive shaft (124) to in turn drive the fan hub (103). At least two fan drive shaft bearings (128, 130) support the fan drive shaft (124) within the fan exit guide vane case (108).

    摘要: A gas turbine engine defining a centerline and a circumferential direction, the gas turbine engine including: a turbomachine comprising a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order, the turbomachine defining a working gas flowpath and a fan duct flowpath; a primary fan driven by the turbomachine defining a primary fan tip radius R1 and a primary fan hub radius R2; a secondary fan located downstream of the primary fan and driven by the turbomachine, at least a portion of an airflow from the primary fan configured to bypass the secondary fan, the secondary fan defining a secondary fan tip radius R3 and a secondary fan hub radius R4, wherein the secondary fan is configured to provide a fan duct airflow through the fan duct flowpath during operation to generate a fan duct thrust, wherein the fan duct thrust is equal to %Fn3S of a total engine thrust during operation of the gas turbine engine at a rated speed during standard day operating conditions; wherein a ratio of R1 to R3 equals EFP1−RqRSec.−Fan21−RqRPrim.−Fan21%Fn3s−1; wherein EFP is between 1.5 and 11, wherein RqRPrim.-Fan is a ratio of R1 to R2, and wherein RqRSec.-Fan is a ratio of R3 to R4.
