  • Patent number: 11522412
    Abstract: A housing for a gas turbine engine accessory includes an enclosure having a drive end with an opening and a closure. The closure is seated in the opening, defines therethrough a shaft aperture and has a v-band flange extending about a periphery of the closure to limit load carried by the enclosure when the engine accessory is mounted to an accessory gearbox mount in a cantilevered arrangement. Engine accessories for gas turbine engines and mounting arrangements for gas turbine engine accessories are also described.

  • Publication number: 20120269616
    Abstract: A driveshaft for an aircraft ram air turbine includes a tubular body and a flange. The tubular body defines an axis of rotation and includes a forward portion and a frusto-conical portion located rearward of the forward portion. The flange adjoins the forward portion of the tubular body opposite the frusto-conical portion, and has a forward face and an opposite rear face. A ratio of an outer diameter of the forward portion of the tubular body to an inner diameter of the forward portion of the tubular body is in a range of approximately 1.423 to 1.425.
