Offset core engine architecture
A gas turbine engine has a propulsion unit and a gas generating core. The propulsion unit includes a fan and a free turbine, wherein the free turbine is connected to drive the fan about a first axis. The gas generating core includes a compressor, a combustion section, and a gas generating core turbine. The compressor and the gas generating core turbine are configured to rotate about a second axis. An inlet duct is configured to deliver air from the fan to the gas generating core. The inlet duct has a crescent shaped cross-section near the fan.
