  • Publication number: 20240133347
    Abstract: A differential gearbox assembly for a turbine engine having a fan shaft and a drive shaft. The differential gearbox assembly includes an epicyclic gear assembly coupling the fan shaft to the drive shaft. The epicyclic gear assembly includes a sun gear, a planet gear constrained by a planet carrier, and a ring gear. The sun gear is coupled to the drive shaft and the planet carrier is coupled to the fan shaft. The sun gear, the planet gear, and the ring gear all rotate about the drive shaft. The differential gearbox assembly includes an electric machine assembly that includes an input coupled to the epicyclic gear assembly. The electric machine assembly provides mechanical power to the fan shaft through the epicyclic gear assembly.
