Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine, wherein the gas turbine engine defines a longitudinal direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction, and an axial centerline extended along the longitudinal direction, and an upstream end and a downstream end along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine includes an annular stationary turbine frame centered around the axial centerline; an engine shaft extended generally along the longitudinal direction; an input shaft extended generally along the longitudinal direction; and a gear assembly including a first gear coupled to the input shaft, a second gear coupled to the turbine frame, and an inner spool coupling the first gear and the second gear, in which the inner spool defines a gear axis extended therethrough. The inner spool, the first gear, and the second gear are together rotatable about the gear axis. The gear axis is rotatable about the axial centerline of the engine. The gas turbine engine further includes a housing coupled to the inner spool and the engine shaft.
