Abstract: A turbomachine engine includes a fan assembly and a core engine comprising a turbine and an input shaft rotatable with the turbine is provided. A single-stage epicyclic gear assembly receives the input shaft at a first speed and drives an output shaft coupled to the fan assembly at a second speed. A sun gear rotates about a longitudinal centerline of the gear assembly and has a sun gear-mesh region along the longitudinal centerline of the gear assembly where the sun gear is configured to contact a plurality of planet gears. A ring gear-mesh region is provided along the longitudinal centerline of the gear assembly where a ring gear is configured to contact the plurality of planet gears. The sun gear-mesh region is axially offset from the ring gear-mesh region along the longitudinal centerline.

Abstract: A face gear transmission, in particular for aircraft application, has a floating input pinion rotating about a respective axis, and two face gears which are positioned facing each other, rotate about a common axis forming an angle of other than 90° with the axis of the pinion, both mesh with the input pinion, and have respective different diameters.

Abstract: A face gear transmission assembly has a supporting structure, and a pair of face gears which are positioned facing each other, rotate with respect to the supporting structure about a common axis, and both mesh with two input pinions and three transmission pinions; the transmission pinions are supported by an auxiliary frame which provides for maintaining the transmission pinions equally spaced angularly, is connected to the supporting structure in angularly fixed manner about the common axis, and is movable along the common axis and at least in one direction crosswise to the common axis.
