A propfan turbine engine having a reduction gearing for the propfan rotors is provided with a lubricating system of its own for the reduction gearing, the system being arranged axially between the gas turbine and the reduction gearing and formed as an annular assembly surrounding a drive shaft from a gas turbine to the reduction gearing. Cooling air is supplied to the lubricating system as a location which will not interfere with the supply of air to the compressor of the gas turbine.
