ABSTRACT:
A tip turbine engine assembly according to the present invention includes a load bearing engine support structure (12). The engine support structure (12) includes an engine support plane (P) that is substantially perpendicular to an engine centerline (A) and first rotationally fixed member (50) disposed about the engine centerline (A) and cantilevered from the engine support plane (P). A support member extends radially outward from the first rotationally fixed member (50) and structurally supports a second rotationally fixed member (58) that is coaxial with the first rotationally fixed member. A rotor is mounted on the first rotationally fixed member and rotates about the engine centerline (A).
