A method of operating a gas turbine engine includes generating a flow of combustion products from a gas turbine generator that has a gas generator axis of rotation. A duct is oriented in a first position to direct the flow of combustion products that have passed over at least one gas generator turbine rotor through a fan drive turbine in response to a first desired flight condition. An axis of rotation of the fan drive turbine is transverse to a gas generator axis of rotation. The duct is oriented in a second position to direct the flow of combustion products that have passed over at least one gas generator turbine rotor through an augmentor section in response to a second desired flight condition.
