Abstract

A geared drive system employing a planetary gear train conveys torque and rotary motion from a source thereof to a bladed propulsor or other device requiring torque and rotary motion. A pivotable joint arrangement connects the planet carrier to a rotating or static torque frame in a manner that isolates the carrier from torsional deflections and the deleterious effects thereof.
