Abstract
A turbojet includes a differential gear with a first planetary pinion driven by the shaft of the high pressure spool and a second planetary pinion driven by the shaft of the low pressure spool. The planetary pinions drive satellite pinions mounted in a cage by which the ancillary machines are driven. The satellite pinions and said cage are co-rotary and the mechanical transmission ratio R1 between the high pressure shaft and the first planetary pinion of the differential gear and the transmission ratio R2 between the low pressure shaft and the second planetary pinion of the differential gear are such that the power extraction distribution between the high pressure spool and the low pressure spool at idle speed is between 80%/20% and 20%/80%. The operation of the high pressure compressor is not affected by the maximum power drawn by the ancillary machines.
