  • Gas turbine architecture
    Patent number: 10151249
    Abstract: A geared architecture for a gas turbine comprising an output shaft for connection with a fan, an input shaft and a gearbox connecting the input shaft with the output shaft. The gearbox has a forward planet carrier plate supported by a forward radially fixed bearing structure and a rearward planet carrier plate supported by a rearward radially fixed bearing structure. By supporting the carrier plates on radially fixed bearing structures the planet carriers can rotate about their own axis to lower vibration and mesh forces within the gearbox.
