    Abstract: A link for mounting a first component to a second component according to an example of the present disclosure includes a first piece connectable to the first component, a second piece connectable to the second component, the second piece includes a main body portion receivable in an opening in the first piece. A primary fastener is configured to retain the main body portion of the second piece in the opening. A secondary fastener is configured to retain the main body portion of the second piece in the opening, the secondary fastener capable of withstanding higher loads than the primary fastener. A gas turbine engine assembly and a method of constraining a gearbox with respect to an engine are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A mounting link between a gas turbine engine and a gearbox comprises a gearbox arm, a fusibly breakable bolt, and two engine attachment brackets. The gearbox arm attaches to the gearbox, and extends along an axis defining a first dimension between the gas turbine engine structure and the gearbox. The fusibly breakable bolt extends through the gearbox arm, and has a central shear section that mates with the gearbox arm. The engine attachment brackets have primary and secondary retention annuli, and attachment flanges that attach to the gas turbine engine structure. The primary retention annuli are each concentric to an outer section of the fusibly breakable bolt, and have a radius selected to tightly retain those outer sections in the first dimension. The secondary retention annuli are each concentric to a portion of the shear section, and have a larger radius to loosely retain the shear section.

    Abstract: A gearbox mounting link between a gas turbine engine structure and a gearbox mounting location comprises an engine attachment piece rotatably secured to the gas turbine engine structure. The engine attachment piece comprises first and second plates extending in parallel planes and separated by a gap having a gap width. A gearbox attachment piece is situated between the parallel plates, and is secured to the gearbox. A breakable primary retention fastener extends snugly through the parallel plates and the gearbox attachment piece, thereby rigidly retaining the gearbox with respect to the gas turbine engine in two degrees of freedom so long as the breakable primary retention fastener remains intact. A durable secondary retention fastener extending snugly through the parallel plates, and extends with clearance through the gearbox attachment piece via an oversized fastener passage, thereby constraining the gearbox attachment piece in the event that the breakable primary retention fastener breaks.

    Abstract: A gearbox assembly for use in a gas turbine engine includes a gearbox housing and first and second shafts. The first shaft is rotatably mounted in the gearbox housing. The first shaft has a first set of splines and defines a central cavity. The second shaft has a second set of splines engaged with the first set of splines. A scupper is positioned on an inner surface of the gearbox housing proximate the first shaft so as to direct liquid from the scupper through the central cavity of the first shaft to the first and second sets of splines.

    Abstract: A dual drive, dual clutch accessory drive system for an aircraft including a first input shaft connected to a first pressure spool of a turbine engine. The first input shaft rotates at a first speed. A second input shaft is connected to a second spool of the turbine engine that is distinct from the first spool. The second input shaft rotates at a second speed. An output shaft operatively connected to an aircraft accessory. A first drive path selectively operatively connects the first input shaft with the output shaft. The first drive path includes a first clutch. The first drive path being operable to rotate the output shaft at the first speed. A second drive path operatively connects the second input shaft with the output shaft. The second drive path includes a second clutch. The second drive path is operable to rotate the output shaft at the second speed.

    Abstract: A flow restrictor assembly includes a threaded element and a sleeve. The threaded element defines a plurality of threads that extend from a first threaded element end towards a second threaded element end. The sleeve has an inner sleeve surface that engages edges of a portion of the plurality of threads and extends between a first sleeve end and a second sleeve end. A lubrication flow path is defined by the portion of the plurality of threads and the inner sleeve surface and is arranged to create a pressure drop in a lubricant that flows through the lubrication flow path.

    Abstract: A gearbox assembly includes an outer housing and a gear box shaft at least partially disposed in the outer housing. The gear box shaft includes an interior region and a reservoir dam that separates the interior region into a reservoir volume and a spline volume. The reservoir dam has a vent hole formed therein that passes through it such that a surface of the dam is in fluid communication with a region defined by the outer housing and outside of the gear box shaft.
