Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes an engine core, a fan and a gearbox interconnecting the engine core and the fan. The engine core is configured to drive rotation of at least one shaft. The power gearbox is configured to transfer torque from the at least one shaft to an output shaft at a reduced rotational speed. The output shaft is coupled to the fan to drive the fan at the reduced speed and provide trust for the gas turbine engine.
