Abstract: A gas turbine engine has an engine core including a low pressure compressor, a high pressure compressor, a high pressure turbine and a low pressure turbine coaxially mounted about an engine axis and fluidly connected in series by a core gaspath. The low pressure turbine is drivingly connected to the low pressure compressor via an external shaft disposed radially outwardly of the core gaspath.

Abstract: A turboprop or turboshaft gas turbine engine includes a low pressure turbine drivingly engaged to an output shaft for driving a rotatable load. A low pressure compressor is de-coupled from the low pressure turbine, the low pressure compressor and turbine rotating independently from one another. A high pressure compressor is disposed downstream from the low pressure compressor and is in fluid communication therewith to receive pressurized air therefrom. A high pressure turbine is disposed downstream from the high pressure compressor and is drivingly engaged thereto via a high pressure shaft. The high pressure turbine is disposed upstream from the low pressure turbine and is in fluid communication therewith. An electric motor receives power from a power source, is drivingly engaged to the low pressure compressor, and is operable to drive the low pressure compressor independently from the low pressure turbine, the high pressure compressor and the high pressure turbine.
