A compound propulsor for powering a vehicle, such as an aircraft. A compound propulsor includes a core gas turbine engine, a fan encased within a cowl, at least one propeller, and drive means for distributing a portion of the power produced by the core engine to the fan and another portion to the propeller. Preferably, the compound propulsor also includes variable geometry inlet guide vanes for varying the portions of power distributed to the fan and propeller. |
