Abstract: A gas turbine engine may include a turbomachine including a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order. The turbomachine defines an engine inlet to an inlet duct, a fan duct inlet to a fan duct, and a core inlet to a core duct. A primary fan is drivingly coupled to the turbomachine, and a secondary fan assembly is disposed downstream of the primary fan within the inlet duct. The secondary fan assembly includes a first secondary fan drivingly coupled to the turbomachine in a first rotational direction, and a second secondary fan drivingly coupled to the turbomachine in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan comprising fan blades. In a forward mode of operation the fan blades have a forward pitch and generate forward thrust, and in a reverse mode of operation the fan blades have a reverse pitch and generate reverse thrust. A fan drive shaft drives the fan and an electric machine is connected to the fan drive shaft. In a reverse mode of operation, the electric machine operates as a motor to convert stored electric energy into rotation of the fan drive shaft.
