TWIN TIP TURBINE PROPULSORS POWERED BY A SINGLE GAS TURBINE GENERATOR

摘要

A gas turbine engine has a core engine incorporating a turbine, and a manifold positioned downstream of the turbine. The manifold delivers gas downstream of the turbine into at least two nacelles, with each of the nacelles receiving a fan rotor. The fan rotor is fixed to rotate with a tip turbine mounted at a radially outer location of the fan rotor, with the tip turbine being in the path of gases from the manifold. An aircraft is also disclosed.
