Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a planetary gear system including a sun gear, intermediate gears, and a ring gear. A lubricant recovery system for the planetary gear system includes fluid passages that extend through the planetary gear system. A gutter is located radially outward from the planetary gear system for collecting lubricant. At least a portion of the gutter is rigidly attached to the ring gear.
