An aircraft engine having at least two shafts, each mounted rotatably about a center axis of the aircraft engine. A first shaft is driven, during operation of the aircraft engine, at a lower speed than a second shaft of the aircraft engine. A chamber limited at least in some areas by one of the shafts is provided, inside which is arranged a device for separating oil from an air-oil volume flow, said device being in operative connection with one of the shafts of the aircraft engine. The device for separating oil is in operative connection with the second shaft of the aircraft engine.

1. An aircraft engine comprising: at least two shafts, including a first shaft and a second shaft, each of the first shaft and the second shaft mounted rotatably about a center axis of the aircraft engine,the second shaft having, during operation of the aircraft engine, a higher speed than the first shaft,a chamber limited at least in some areas by one of the at least two shafts,a device for separating oil from an air-oil volume flow arranged in the chamber, the device for separating oil including a centrifugal oil separator,wherein the centrifugal oil separator includes: a casing positioned externally of the second shaft and fixedly connected to the second shaft to rotate with the second shaft; anda porous metal foam ring positioned in the casing. 2. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, and further comprising a sealing device by which the chamber is sealed off from an area limited by the first shaft. 3. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the second shaft is a hollow shaft. 4. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the chamber of the aircraft engine is a bearing chamber having a bearing device and further comprising a line area via which an air-oil volume flow can be passed from a tank device into the bearing chamber. 5. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the chamber of the aircraft engine is a bearing chamber having a bearing device and further comprising a line area via which an air-oil volume flow can be passed from a casing device of an accessory gearbox into the bearing chamber. 6. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 1, wherein the second shaft is a high pressure shaft of the aircraft engine. 7. An aircraft engine comprising: at least two shafts, including a first shaft and a second shaft, each of the first shaft and the second shaft mounted rotatably about a center axis of the aircraft engine,the second shaft having, during operation of the aircraft engine, a higher speed than the first shaft,a chamber limited at least in some areas by one of the at least two shafts,a device for separating oil from an air-oil volume flow arranged in the chamber, the device for separating oil including a centrifugal oil separator,a drive shaft in operative connection with the second shaft to be driven at a higher speed than the first shaft, the drive shaft operatively connected to drive an accessory unit of an accessory gearbox,wherein the centrifugal oil separator includes: a casing positioned externally of the drive shaft and fixedly connected to the drive shaft to rotate with the drive shaft; anda porous metal foam ring positioned in the casing. 8. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 7, wherein the second shaft is a high pressure shaft of the aircraft engine. 9. An aircraft engine comprising: at least three shafts, including a first shaft, a second shaft and a third shaft, each of the first shaft, the second shaft and the third shaft mounted rotatably about a center axis of the aircraft engine,the second shaft having, during operation of the aircraft engine, a higher speed than the first shaft, the third shaft having, during the operation of the aircraft engine, a higher speed than the second shaft,a chamber limited at least in some areas by one of the at least three shafts,a device for separating oil from an air-oil volume flow arranged in the chamber, the device for separating oil including a centrifugal oil separator,wherein the centrifugal oil separator includes: a casing positioned externally of the second shaft or the third shaft and fixedly connected to the second shaft or the third shaft, respectively to rotate with the second shaft or the third shaft, respectively; anda porous metal foam ring positioned in the casing. 10. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 9, wherein the chamber is a bearing chamber having a bearing device. 11. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 10, and further comprising a further bearing chamber and a further device for separating oil, wherein in an area of the further bearing chamber, the further device for separating oil is fixedly connected to the second shaft or the third shaft to rotate with the second shaft or the third shaft, respectively. 12. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 11, and further comprising a line area via which an air-oil volume flow can be passed from the further bearing chamber into the bearing chamber. 13. The aircraft engine in accordance with claim 9, wherein the second shaft is an intermediate pressure shaft of the aircraft engine and the third shaft is a high pressure shaft of the aircraft engine.
