13DV-9637 POWER TURBINE SUPPORT ARRANGEMENT ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A coupling arrangement for supporting a power turbine in a gas turbine engine. The power turbine section comprises a stator structure, first and second rotors, and first and second bearings. The first and second rotors are coaxially disposed about a longitudinal axis of the stator. An annular gas flowpath is coaxially positioned between the first and second rotors. Annular arrays of turbine blades are coupled to the first and second rotors and extend into the flowpath so that a gas stream flowing through the flowpath reacts with the turbine blades causing the rotors to counterrotate. The first bearings are interposed between the first rotor and the stator structure to rotatably secure the first rotor to the stator structure. The second bearings are interposed between the second rotor and the first rotor to rotatably secure the second rotor to the first rotor. Be securing the second rotor to the first rotor both rotors maintain a common axis of rotation when the stator structure undergoes deflection along its longitudinal axis.
