Abstract: A shaft and sleeve assembly of a gas turbine engine includes an outer shaft extending about an engine central longitudinal axis and having a radially inner shaft surface. The radially inner shaft surface has a shaft groove define therein. A sleeve is located radially inboard of the radially inner shaft surface. The sleeve includes a sleeve groove defined in a radially outer sleeve surface. The sleeve groove is formed at an axial location between a first axial end and a second axial end of the sleeve. A retaining element is installed in the shaft groove and the sleeve groove to retain the sleeve relative to the outer shaft. The sleeve includes one or more sleeve openings formed therein, and the sleeve groove is aligned with the one or more sleeve openings.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a first spool, a second spool, a third spool, and a epicyclic differential. The epicyclic differential includes a sun gear, planet gears supported from a planet carrier, a ring gear, and a locking member, each housed within an accessory gearbox. The planet carrier couples to the second spool. The sun gear couples to the third spool, and the ring gear couples to engine accessories. A method of operating the gas turbine engine includes supplying a first fuel flow rate to a primary combustor associated with the first and third spools and supplying a second fuel flow rate to a secondary combustor associated with the second spool based on a power lever angle within an intermediate power level range.
