A gearbox assembly 40 for a gas turbine engine 10 used in an aircraft having passive lubrication capabilities during wind milling includes a gearbox housing 44, a gear train assembly 50 housed within the gearbox housing 44, a lubricant in the gearbox housing 44 for lubricating the gear train assembly 50, and a first scavenge port 48 formed in the gearbox housing 44. The first scavenge port 48 is changeable between an open position and a closed position. Further, the first scavenge port 48 remains in the open position during normal operation of the gas turbine engine 10 to allow the lubricant 46 to drain from the gearbox housing 44. Upon occurrence of a loss of lubricant pressure in the gearbox assembly 40, the first scavenge port 48 is changed to the closed position to trap at least a portion of the lubricant in the gearbox housing 44. Thus, the trapped lubricant 46 provides passive lubrication to the gear train assembly 50 during the loss of lubricant pressure.

A planet gear rotatable on a planet bearing with cylindrical rollers (104) is mounted to a carrier (90, 92) of an epicyclic gearing arrangement. Either the cylindrical outer surface (101) of the support pin (96) or the opposing cylindrical inner surface (112) of the inner ring (102) of the planet bearing includes a network of interconnected grooves (121, 122, 123). The support pin (96) includes oil feed holes (126) intersecting the grooves (121, 122, 123). Passages (124) through the planet bearing's inner ring (102) also connect to the grooves (121, 122, 123). A gas turbine engine (10) includes a fan (38) and LP shaft (36), which couples a compressor (22) to a turbine (30). An epicyclic gearing arrangement has a single input from the LP shaft (36) coupled to a sun gear (80), a single output coupled to the fan's shaft (45), and a planet bearing with a network of interconnected grooves (121, 122, 123).

A planet gearbox is provided for connection to a carrier of an epicyclic gearing arrangement with a single input and single output and including a sun gear 80, a ring gear 86 and at least one double helix planet gear rotatable on a cylindrical roller bearing wherein the ratio of each cylindrical roller's length to each cylindrical roller's 104 diameter exceeds 1.0. A gas turbine engine 10 includes a shaft 36 coupling a compressor 22 of a compressor section to a turbine 30 of a turbine section. An epicyclic gearing arrangement has a single input from the shaft coupled to a sun gear, a single output from the carrier that is coupled to the shaft of a fan and includes a planet gearbox with cylindrical rollers having a length-to-diameter ratio exceeding 1.0.
