Abstract
An aircraft engine has a high pressure spool including a high pressure turbine drivingly connected to a high pressure compressor. A low pressure spool including a low pressure compressor is fluidly connected to the high pressure compressor. A low pressure turbine is drivingly connected to the low pressure compressor to drive the low pressure compressor. A load is drivingly connected to the low pressure turbine, the load consisting of one of a propeller and a helicopter rotor. A method of creating classes of an aircraft engine from an engine platform is disclosed.
