Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A gas turbine engine is provided, which includes a first compressor rotor coupled to a first shaft, a second compressor rotor downstream of the first compressor and coupled to a second shaft. A combustor is disposed downstream of the compressor rotors. A turbine is disposed downstream of the combustor and coupled to the second shaft. A gear is configured to be driven by the second shaft. The second shaft is configured for driving the first shaft through the gear, whereby the turbine drives the first compressor rotor at a different rotational speed than the turbine.
