Abstract
The gas turbine engine can have an engine core; a core output shaft drivable by the engine core; a power output shaft; an auxiliary power shaft; and a reduction gearbox having gears, the gears drivingly connecting the core output shaft to the auxiliary power shaft. The gears can include an epicyclic gearing drivingly connecting the core output shaft and the auxiliary power shaft to the power output shaft. The gas turbine engine can further have a second auxiliary power shaft interconnected to the auxiliary power shaft, the power output shaft, and the core output shaft by the gears.
