Abstract

Turbine engine (10) with a contra-rotating turbine for an aircraft,

the turbine engine comprising a contra-rotating turbine (22) whose first rotor (22a) is configured to rotate in a first direction of rotation and is connected to a first turbine shaft (36), and a second rotor (22b) is configured to rotate in an opposite direction of rotation and is connected to a second turbine shaft (38), the first rotor comprising turbine wheels (36a) inserted between turbine wheels (38a) of the second rotor,the turbine engine further comprising a mechanical reduction gear (42) with an epicyclic gear train which comprises a sun gear (44) driven in rotation by said second shaft, a ring gear (40) driven in rotation by said first shaft, and a planet carrier (46) fixed to a stator casing (28) of the turbine engine situated downstream from the contra-rotating turbine with respect to direction of flow of the gases in the turbine engine,the turbine engine further comprising a bearing (56) for guiding the second shaft with respect to the first shaft, and a bearing for guiding the second shaft with respect to said stator casing,characterised in that said bearings are all situated downstream from the trailing edge of the last turbine wheel of the contra-rotating turbine and upstream from the reduction gear.
