A gas turbine engine, comprising: a low pressure spool extending between a low pressure compressor and a low pressure turbine; a high pressure spool extending between a high pressure compressor and a high pressure turbine, wherein the spools are rotatable about a center axis of the engine; and a stationary support frame; characterised by further comprising: at least one support arch having a stationary support mount disposed between a low spool mount and a high spool mount; and at least one stationary support bearing disposed between the stationary support mount and the stationary support frame; at least one low spool bearing disposed between the low pressure spool and the low spool mount; at least one high spool bearing disposed between the high pressure spool and the high spool mount; and wherein the support arch is disposed relative to the spools (24,26) and the stationary support frame so that a load from each spool (24,26) caused by the rotation of that spool (24,26) can be transferred to the stationary support frame through the support arch, and the support arch can freely rotate about the center axis of the engine relative to the spools (24,26) and the stationary structural frame. a low pressure spool extending between a low pressure compressor and a low pressure turbine; a high pressure spool extending between a high pressure compressor and a high pressure turbine, wherein the spools are rotatable about a center axis of the engine; and a stationary support frame; characterised by further comprising: at least one support arch having a stationary support mount disposed between a low spool mount and a high spool mount; and at least one stationary support bearing disposed between the stationary support mount and the stationary support frame; at least one low spool bearing disposed between the low pressure spool and the low spool mount; at least one high spool bearing disposed between the high pressure spool and the high spool mount; and wherein the support arch is disposed relative to the spools (24,26) and the stationary support frame so that a load from each spool (24,26) caused by the rotation of that spool (24,26) can be transferred to the stationary support frame through the support arch, and the support arch can freely rotate about the center axis of the engine relative to the spools (24,26) and the stationary structural frame. at least one support arch having a stationary support mount disposed between a low spool mount and a high spool mount; and at least one stationary support bearing disposed between the stationary support mount and the stationary support frame; at least one low spool bearing disposed between the low pressure spool and the low spool mount; at least one high spool bearing disposed between the high pressure spool and the high spool mount; and wherein the support arch is disposed relative to the spools (24,26) and the stationary support frame so that a load from each spool (24,26) caused by the rotation of that spool (24,26) can be transferred to the stationary support frame through the support arch, and the support arch can freely rotate about the center axis of the engine relative to the spools (24,26) and the stationary structural frame.
