Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a very high speed fan drive turbine such that a quantity defined by the exit area of the low pressure turbine multiplied by the square of the low pressure turbine rotational speed compared to the same parameters for the high pressure turbine is at a ratio between about 0.5 and about 1.5. The high pressure turbine is mounted by bearings positioned at an outer periphery of a shaft driven by the high pressure turbine.
