    Abstract: A turbine engine defines an axial direction and a radial direction and includes a shaft assembly, a fan or propeller assembly, an engine core, a coupling shaft, a spacer, a sleeve, and a nut The coupling shaft defines an annular surface extended along the axial direction and a groove extended in a circumferential direction. The spacer defines a first portion disposed in the groove of the coupling shaft. The sleeve defines a threaded portion that extends along the axial direction and is disposed outward of the spacer in the radial direction. The nut defines a plurality of nut threads configured to mate with the plurality of sleeve threads of the sleeve. The nut defines a radial portion adjacent to at least a portion of the sleeve and at least a portion of the spacer in the axial direction.

    Abstract: A planetary gear system includes a carrier including a first side having a first oil manifold opening therethrough, and a second side having a second oil manifold opening therethrough, a first oil manifold and a second oil manifold. The first oil manifold has a first flange portion floatingly engaging with the first oil manifold opening, and a second flange portion engaging with the second oil manifold opening of the carrier, the second flange portion including a first oil manifold mounting flange. The second oil manifold has a second oil manifold flange portion engaging with the second oil manifold opening of the carrier, and including a second oil manifold mounting flange. At least one connecting member connects the first oil manifold mounting flange and the second oil manifold mounting flange so as to mount the first oil manifold and the second oil manifold to the carrier.
