The Fan has no power without the LPT being pushed aft. It is the force of the gases that spin these power turbines that rotates the Fan. As such, the LPT has a pull aft, always when the Fan is producing its thrust. I mentioned the tug of war before, the Fan pulls forward, the LPT pulls aft. (actually it is "pushed aft" by the gases.)
The gases under pressure that are producing the Fan's rotation happen between the IPT and the LPT. Following the "creation" of the power, then, is it safe to say that the "Power" is acting on the IPShaft's dual thrust bearings? It is this stationary point on the engine that pushes forward the Pylon, and hence the a/c?
is that it?
