A gas turbine engine comprises a gear train defined along an axis. A spool along the axis drives the gear train and includes a low stage count low pressure turbine. A fan i s rotatable at a fan speed about the axis and driven by the low pressure turbine through the gear train. The fan speed is less than a speed of the low pressure turbine. A core is surrounded by a core nacelle defined about the axis. A fan nacelle i s mounted at least partially around the core nacelle to define a fan bypass airflow path for a fan bypass airflow. A bypass ratio defined by the fan bypass passage airflow divided by airflow through the core is greater than about ten (10).
