A turbo engine with a gas turbine to drive propellers or propfan blades is disclosed which includes a speed reduction transmission interposed behind the gas turbine output drive shaft and the propellers or propfan blades. A cooling air impeller is provided to provide the supply of cooling air to an oil cooler for the speed reduction transmission. The impeller is arranged directly on the turbine output drive shaft.
