GEARED TURBINE ENGINE WITH RELATIVELY LIGHTWEIGHT PROPULSOR MODULE

Abstract:

An example gas turbine engine includes a propulsor assembly including at least a fan module and a fan drive turbine module; a gas generator assembly including at least a compressor section, a combustor in fluid communication with the compressor section, and a turbine in fluid communication with the combustor; and a geared architecture driven by the fan drive turbine module for rotating a fan of the fan module. A weight of the fan module and the fan drive turbine module is less than about 40% of a total weight of a gas turbine engine.
