Abstract: A gas turbine engine has an accessory gearbox disposed outside of a bypass channel and connected to a housing part, which radially delimits the bypass channel, in a connection region near the housing part and in a connection region far from the housing part. A connecting element is provided between the housing part and the connection region far from the housing part. A longitudinal axis of the connecting element includes an angle in the range of 75° to 115° with a vertical axis of the accessory gearbox. The connecting element can vary a distance between the far connection region and a connection point of the connecting element on the housing part such that deformation of the housing part and a resulting position change of the connection point cause a lesser deflection of the accessory gearbox than a deflection with an unchanged length of the connecting element.

Abstract: A bracket comprising a first planar portion having at least one bolt hole, a second planar portion angularly spaced apart from the first planar portion. The bracket may include an intermediate portion integral with the first planar portion and the second planar portion. The second planar portion includes projections and bolt holes, the projections are operable to interlock with cut-outs of flanges.

Abstract: An aircraft gas-turbine engine having a fan mounted on a fan shaft and including several fan blades, where the fan shaft is mounted on an engine structure by means of an upstream fan bearing, when seen in the flow direction, and a downstream bearing, where at least one predetermined breaking point is provided in the area of the fan bearing, characterized in that at least one shock-absorbing element designed as metal fabric damper is arranged at a radial gap to have a parallel effect relative to the predetermined breaking point.
