A turbine rotor wheel for an aircraft turbomachine includes a rotor disk, an annular shroud extending around the disk, and blades arranged between the disk and the shroud. The root of each of the blades has two tabs configured for attachment to the disk. The tabs are arranged upstream and downstream, respectively, of a wall of the disk, relative to the axis. The tab arranged upstream is engaged in a first recess of the disk and configured to cooperate by abutment with a peripheral edge of the first recess. The tab arranged downstream is engaged in a second recess of the disk and is configured to cooperate by abutment with a peripheral edge of the second recess.

A gas turbine engine has a first spool having a low pressure compressor section disposed forward of an air inlet along a direction of travel of the engine, and a low pressure turbine section disposed forward of the low pressure compressor section and drivingly engaged thereto. A second spool has a high pressure compressor section disposed forward of the low pressure compressor section, and a high pressure turbine section disposed forward of the high pressure compressor section and drivingly engaged thereto. The high pressure turbine section is disposed aft of the low pressure turbine section. An output drive shaft drivingly engages the low pressure turbine section and extends forwardly therefrom to drive a rotatable load. A method of operating a gas turbine engine is also discussed.

A turbomachine with a counter-rotating turbine for an aircraft includes a counter-rotating turbine and a mechanical reduction gear with an epicyclic, planetary-type gear train. The gear train includes a planet carrier secured to a stator housing of the turbomachine situated upstream from the counter-rotating turbine in relation to a direction of gas flow within the turbomachine. The planet carrier is secured to the stator housing by an annular part with an elongated shape extending inside the second shaft. The annular part includes an upstream end secured to the intermediate casing and a downstream end coupled to the planet carrier. The annular part also includes an integrated circuit for conveying lubrication oil from its upstream end to the planet carrier.
