  • Patent number: 10605351
    Abstract: A turbo fan engine includes a housing that supports a compressor section. At least one compressor hub is within the compressor section. A compressor shaft is arranged in the compressor section. An epicyclic gear train is coupled to the compressor shaft. At least one compressor hub and the compressor shaft are coupled at a common attachment point. The epicyclic gear train includes a carrier. A sun gear and intermediate gears are arranged about and intermeshing with the sun gear. The intermediate gears are supported by the carrier. A baffle is supported relative to the carrier and includes a lubrication passage near at least one of the sun gear and intermediate gears for directing a lubricant on at least one of the sun gear and the intermediate gears.
