GEAR ASSEMBLY MOUNT FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE

Abstract:

A gas turbine engine including a first frame including a first mount member defining a stiffness K.sub.1; a second frame including a second mount member defining a stiffness K.sub.2 and a third mount member defining a stiffness K.sub.3; and a gear assembly. The gear assembly includes a first rotatable component, a second rotatable component, and a torque transfer component. The first mount member is coupled to the first rotatable component. The second mount member is coupled to the second rotatable component. The third mount member is coupled to the torque transfer component. The stiffness K.sub.1 is less than or equal to 10% of the stiffness K.sub.3.
