Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has an accessory gearbox disposed outside of a bypass channel and connected to a housing part, which radially delimits the bypass channel, in a connection region near the housing part and in a connection region far from the housing part. A connecting element is provided between the housing part and the connection region far from the housing part. A longitudinal axis of the connecting element includes an angle in the range of 75° to 115° with a vertical axis of the accessory gearbox. The connecting element can vary a distance between the far connection region and a connection point of the connecting element on the housing part such that deformation of the housing part and a resulting position change of the connection point cause a lesser deflection of the accessory gearbox than a deflection with an unchanged length of the connecting element.
