ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an aircraft incorporating a gas turbine engine powerplant wherein at least part of the powerplant forms a part of, or is integrated into, the airframe (i.e. the load-bearing structure of the aircraft) such that the powerplant is subjected to airframe loads (i.e. the main static or aerodynamic loads to which the aircraft is subjected, for example loadings due to the wings, the fin, etc.). A gas turbine powerplant comprising a carcass and a low pressure stage which are designed to be subjected to airframe loads is also discussed.
