A free turbine is
- not directly connected to the power output shaft.
- connected directly to the propeller and compressor.
- connected directly to the power output shaft.
Explanation
A free turbine is not mechanically linked to the gas-generator/compressor spool; instead it is connected to the power output shaft, extracting energy from the gas stream to drive the propeller or load. This independence lets the output shaft turn at a speed unrelated to the gas-generator speed.
