Zusammenfassung:An exemplary embodiment of a FLADE (fan on blade) counter-rotating fan aircraft gas turbine engine includes at least one row of FLADE fan blades (5) disposed radially outwardly of and drivingly connected to one of axially spaced-apart first and second counter-rotatable fans (130 and 132). A core engine (18) located downstream and axially aft of the first and second counter-rotatable fans (130 and 132) is circumscribed by a fan bypass duct (40) downstream and axially aft of the first and second counter-rotatable fans (130 and 132). The row of FLADE fan blades (5) radially extend across a FLADE duct (3) circumscribed about the first and second counter-rotatable fans (130 and 132) and the fan bypass duct (40). A second low pressure turbine (21) is drivingly connected to the first counter-rotatable fan (130) and a first low pressure turbine (19) is drivingly connected to the second counter-rotatable fan (132).
