I also see the confusion here. I see an "axial" compressor system as inline with the turbine and the combustors inline between the two. The TG 100 still uses a centrifugal configuration with the cans arranged around the compressor even though it is inline with the turbine.

Then you are using a definition of axial and centrifugal that is different from everyone else.

Don't be fooled by the can-type burners, (Which are behind the compressor section, wouldn't be much use, otherwise) and the large turbine section - that turbine has to be powering both the compressor and the prop shaft.
