Counter-rotating turbine of a turbomachine extending about an axis of rotation and comprising an inner rotor having at least one inner moving blade supported in rotation by a first shaft, an outer rotor rotating in an opposite direction to the inner rotor, and comprising at least one outer moving blade supported in rotation by a second shaft coaxial with the first shaft, the first and second shafts extending axially from upstream to downstream of the turbine, the first shaft being guided in rotation by a first bearing disposed between the first shaft and an upstream casing of the turbine, and the second shaft being guided in rotation by a second bearing disposed between the second shaft and said upstream casing of the turbine, the first bearing and the second bearing being disposed upstream of a first stage of the inner rotor.
A turbomachine with counter-rotating fans extending about an axis of rotation and comprising a fan section which includes a first row of fan blades which is connected to an upstream end of a first low-pressure shaft, and a second row of fan blades spaced axially downstream of the first row of fan blades and which is connected to an upstream end of a second low-pressure shaft disposed radially outwardly of the first low-pressure shaft, the first row of fan blades and the second row of fan blades rotating in opposite directions, the turbomachine further comprising a counter-rotating turbine driving the first and second rows of fan blades, the counter-rotating turbine of the turbomachine comprising:
