Abstract
A differential gear system for a gas turbine engine includes an assembly of a ring gear, a sun gear, and a plurality of planet gears, and a planet carrier. The plurality of planet gears are enmeshed between the ring gear and the sun gear. The planet carrier acts as an input to rotatably drive the planet gears, the sun gear, and ring gear of the gas turbine engine.
