Abstract
An example aircraft engine includes a fan and a gas turbine engine to drive the fan. The gas turbine engine has a low-pressure drive shaft operatively coupling a low-pressure turbine and a low-pressure compressor and a high-pressure drive shaft operatively coupling a high-pressure turbine and a high-pressure compressor. The aircraft engine includes a power transfer system including a differential having an input shaft, a first output shaft in gear with the low-pressure drive shaft, and a second output shaft in gear with the high-pressure drive shaft, and a gearbox between the low-pressure drive shaft of the gas turbine engine and the first output shaft of the differential. The gearbox is configured to provide power transfer through the differential from the low-pressure drive shaft to the high-pressure drive shaft.
