A gas turbine (22) of a compound internal combustion engine is coupled by a double reduction gear (32) to the engine crankshaft. The turbine shaft (30) is journalled by a floating bearing (48) adjacent the turbine wheel (22) and by two bearings (50 and 52) adjacent the gear wheel (38). At least one of the latter bearings (50, 52) is a fixed bearing. The intermediate shaft (42) of the double reduction gear incorporates a flexible coupling (56) which is disposed outside the gearbox (60). The flexible coupling has rubber or the like resilient material (88) between its parts (84, 86). |
