Two separately operable turbines are regularly connected individually to two propellers, via reducing gears in each instance, whereby an intermediate shaft is included in each such power train. These intermediate shafts are interconnected via an interconnecting transmission gear with clutches at either end, so that this transmission is completely removed when both turbines drive the propellers while either turbine can drive both propellers when the clutches are operated. Details of the mounting and of the gears and their configuration are disclosed.
