Patent attributes
A free-turbine turboshaft engine including a gas generator including at least one compressor supplied with air, a combustion chamber receiving the compressed air at the output of the compressor, and at least one generator turbine mechanically connected to the compressor by a drive shaft and driven by gases from combustion of fuel carried out in the combustion chamber, and including a free turbine supplied by the gases from the combustion after passing through the generator turbine and which drives a power shaft positioned non-coaxially relative to the drive shaft of the gas generator and supplying the power of the turboshaft engine via a reduction gear. The combustion chamber is a substantially cylindrical or frusto-conical chamber, coaxial with the axis of the generator turbine, and includes a single injector.
