Zusammenfassung:A drive system for a rotorcraft includes at least one engine, the engine including a compressor section, and a turbine section positioned rearward from the compressor section. A main rotor input shaft extends from a rotor power turbine of the turbine section and is connectable to a main rotor assembly of the rotorcraft to transfer rotational energy from the rotor power turbine to the main rotor assembly. An auxiliary input shaft extends from an auxiliary power turbine of the turbine section and is connectible to an auxiliary rotor assembly of the rotorcraft to transfer rotational energy from the auxiliary power turbine to the auxiliary rotor assembly.
