A training apparatus, comprising:
- at least one gas turbine engine fan stage having a plurality of fan rotor blades attached to a disk, the at least one gas turbine engine fan stage having an axially extending centerline, and the disk mounted for rotation about the axially extending centerline;
- and
- a stand configured to support the at least one gas turbine engine fan stage.
A training apparatus, comprising:
- a first gas turbine engine fan stage having a plurality of first fan rotor blades attached to a first disk, the first gas turbine engine fan stage having a first axially extending centerline, and the first disk mounted for rotation about the first axially extending centerline;
- and
- a second gas turbine engine fan stage having a plurality of second fan rotor blades attached to a second disk, the second gas turbine engine fan stage having a second axially extending centerline, the second disk mounted for rotation about the second axially extending centerline;
- wherein the first gas turbine engine fan stage is independent of the second gas turbine engine fan stage;
- and
- a stand configured to support the first gas turbine engine fan stage and the second gas turbine engine fan stage.
