Only, the core would drive a generator, the generated electricity would then be distributed to different fans (2 or more). I could compose an answer if this fits your question description? | |

| Dec 5, 2016 at 18:20 | comment | added | Rory Alsop | are you planning on running a gearbox to split the single shaft to the fans? Gearboxes are ... a challenge! Ask any Chinook engineer. | |
| Dec 5, 2016 at 16:27 | comment | added | jCisco | @fooot I had considered the points mentioned, however in the case I have presented the following differences are apparent. There aren't two engines, the size of the fans and physical configuration with relation to the proposed core is also open to speculation. | |
