Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a fan section that includes a fan with fan blades. The fan section drives air along a bypass flow path in a bypass duct. A gear reduction is in driving engagement with the fan and has a gear reduction ratio of greater than 3.0 and less than 4.0. A low spool includes a low pressure turbine that drives a low pressure compressor and drives the gear reduction to drive the fan at a speed slower than the low pressure turbine. The low pressure compressor is a five-stage low pressure compressor. The low pressure turbine is four-stage low pressure turbine. A high spool includes a high pressure turbine that drives a high pressure compressor. The high pressure compressor is a nine-stage high pressure compressor. The high pressure turbine is a two-stage high pressure turbine.
