Abstract:
An aircraft gas turbine engine includes a fan system having a reverse traveling wave first flap mode, Fan RTW, and including a fan upstream of the engine core; a fan shaft; and a front engine structure to support the shaft and having a front engine structure nodding mode FSN including two modes at similar, but unequal, natural frequencies in orthogonal directions; and a gearbox. The engine includes a gearbox, and a gearbox output shaft to couple output of the gearbox to the fan shaft. An LP rotor system including the fan system and the gearbox output shaft has a first reverse whirl rotor dynamic mode, Rotor RW. A frequency margin of: the frequency difference between mode FSN and the highest frequency of either synchronous Fan RTW or synchronous Rotor RW the lowest natural frequency of the front structure nodding pair of modes is in the range from 5 to 50%.
