Abstract
A turbofan jet engine having a housing and an engine core disposed in the housing. The engine core includes at least a compressor, turbine, and a drive shaft. The drive shaft defines a drive shaft axis. A plurality of fans are disposed in the housing and each is rotatable about a separate fan axis. Each of the fan axes are axially offset from the drive shaft axis. The turbofan jet engine further includes a drive system operably interconnecting the engine core and fans so as to rotatably drive the fans and selectively disengage select fans from the engine core.
