Abstract
A gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes a fan situated at an inlet of a bypass passage. The fan has a fan diameter, Dfan. A low pressure turbine section is configured to drive the fan and a first compressor section. The low pressure turbine section has a greater number of stages than the first compressor section. The low pressure turbine section has a maximum rotor diameter, Dturb. A ratio of the maximum rotor diameter Dturb divided by the fan diameter Dfan is less than 0.6.
