    Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft has at least two fans (22, 24; 122, 124; 208, 210), each fan (22...210) having a fan drive shaft (56; 156). A turboshaft gas turbine engine (26, 28; 126, 128; 202, 204) drives each of the at least two fans (22...210), and drive an output shaft (36; 136) which drives a gear (38; 138) to, in turn, engage for driving a gear (40; 140) on a first intermediate shaft (41, 42; 141; 206, 207) extending from the turboshaft gas turbine engine (26...204) in a rearward direction toward an intermediate fan drive shaft (50; 150). The intermediate fan drive shaft (50; 150) drives the fan drive shaft (56; 156), and the first intermediate shafts (41...207) extend over a distance that is greater in an axial dimension defined between the turboshaft gas turbine engine (26...204) and the fan (22...210) than in a width dimension defined between the at least two fans (22...210). The first intermediate shafts (41...207) are concentric.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine (15) for an aircraft (10) includes a core engine assembly (16A, 16B) including a compressor section (20A, 20B) communicating air to a combustor section (22) where the air is mixed with fuel and ignited to generate a high-energy gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section (24A, 24B). The turbine section (24A, 24B) is coupled to drive the compressor section (20A, 20B). A free turbine (26; 46A, 46B) is configured to be driven by gas flow from the core engine assembly (16A, 16B). A propulsor section (18) is aft of the core engine assembly (16A, 16B) and is driven by the free turbine (26; 46A, 46B). An exhaust duct (32) routes exhaust gases from the core engine assembly (16A, 16B) to the free turbine (26; 46A, 46B). The free turbine (26; 46A, 46B) is disposed aft of the propulsor section (18) and the exhaust duct (32) includes an outlet (25) aft of the propulsor section (18) communicating gas flow to drive the free turbine (26; 46A, 46B). An aircraft (10) is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine (100) comprises a main compressor section having a high pressure compressor (108) with a downstream discharge, and more upstream locations. A turbine section has a high pressure turbine (117). A first tap (110) taps air from at least one of the more upstream locations in the compressor section, passes the tapped air through a heat exchanger (112) and then to a cooling compressor (114). The cooling compressor (114) compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger (112), and delivers air into the high pressure turbine (117). A second tap (208) taps air from the compressor section, passes the air across a cabin air pump (212), and delivers air from the cabin air pump (212) for use on an aircraft receiving the gas turbine engine (100). The cooling compressor (114) including a rotor, and the cabin air pump (212) including a rotor, and a drive (300) driven with the turbine section in turn drives both the cooling compressor rotor and the cabin air supply rotor.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a main compressor section (24) having a high pressure compressor with a downstream discharge, and more upstream locations. A turbine section (28) has a high pressure turbine (117). A tap (110) taps air from at least one of the more upstream locations in the compressor section, passing the tapped air through a heat exchanger (112) and then to a cooling compressor (114), which compresses air downstream of the heat exchanger (112), and delivers air into the high pressure turbine (117). The cooling compressor (114) rotates at a speed proportional to a speed of at least one rotor in the turbine section (28). The cooling compressor (114) is allowed to rotate at a speed that is not proportional to a speed of the at least one rotor under certain conditions. An intercooling system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
