A gas turbine engine comprises a primary fan and an engine core. The primary fan is mounted for rotation about an axis of the gas turbine engine to provide thrust. The engine core is coupled to the primary fan and configured to drive the primary fan about the axis to cause the fan to push air to provide thrust for the gas turbine engine.
