1. An aircraft engine comprising: a fan having a center of mass,a low-pressure shaft that couples the fan directly to a low-pressure turbine of the aircraft engine, anda bearing arrangement for mounting the low-pressure shaft, where the bearing arrangement includes a first front bearing and a second front bearing, both mounting the low-pressure shaft, with the first front bearing being arranged in an axial direction in front of the second front bearing,wherein the first front bearing is arranged such that a same plane, extending perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft engine, substantially intersects both the center of mass of the fan and at least one bearing element of the first front bearing. 2. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fan is provided in BLISK or BLING design. 3. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the first front bearing has a low radial overall height. 4. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 3, wherein the radial overall height of the first front bearing is less than 40% of a hub radius of the fan. 5. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein a hub/ tip ratio of the fan is smaller than 0.35. 6. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein an axial distance between the first front bearing and the second front bearing is at least equal to a hub radius of the fan. 7. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the second front bearing is configured to handle a lower loading than the first front bearing. 8. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the first front bearing is a roller bearing. 9. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 8, wherein the second front bearing is a ball bearing. 10. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the first front bearing is a ball bearing. 11. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the first and second front bearings are arranged in a common bearing chamber. 12. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein a center of mass of the first front bearing is arranged in the same plane, extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft engine, as the center of mass of the fan. 13. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fan is not coupled to the low-pressure compressor via a reduction gear. 14. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the engine is a turbofan engine. 15. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein a hub/ tip ratio of the fan is smaller than 0.3. 16. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the first and second front bearings are arranged in separate bearing chambers.
