Zusammenfassung:A compressor for a gas turbine engine comprising a casing, a mixed flow stage including a first rotor and at least one further mixed or centrifugal flow stage including a second rotor axially spaced apart from the first rotor, and bearing means positioned between the first and second rotors for rotatably mounting the rotors with respect to the casing. The bearing means is positioned closely adjacent the first rotor. The rotors are carried on a common shaft and the bearing means rotatably mounts the shaft with respect to a bearing support which extends radially with respect to the shaft between the bearing and the casing. The bearing support comprises a frusta-conical portion extending from the said bearing means towards the said casing.
