Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a bypass ratio greater than about ten (10). A fan is supported on a fan shaft and has a plurality of fan blades. There is a gutter with an annular channel. A gear system is connected to the fan shaft. There is a plurality of planetary gears and a ring gear with an aperture that is axially aligned with the annular channel. The ring gear includes a first portion with a first set of opposed angled teeth separated by a trough from a second portion with a second set of opposed angled teeth. A torque frame at least partially supports the gear system. A low pressure turbine has an inlet, an outlet, and a low pressure turbine pressure ratio greater than 5:1 and a low fan pressure ratio of less than 1.45 across the fan blade alone.
