Abstract
A gas turbine engine has an engine core including a low pressure compressor, a high pressure compressor, a high pressure turbine and a low pressure turbine coaxially mounted about an engine axis and fluidly connected in series by a core gaspath. The low pressure turbine is drivingly connected to the low pressure compressor via an external shaft disposed radially outwardly of the core gaspath.
