    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan shaft and a support which supports the fan shaft. The support defines at least one of a support transverse and a support lateral stiffness. A gear system drives the fan shaft. A flexible support at least partially supports the gear system, and defines at least one of a flexible support transverse and a flexible support lateral stiffness with respect to at least one of the support transverse and the support lateral stiffness. An input to the gear system defines at least one of an input transverse and an input lateral stiffness with respect to at least one of the support transverse and the support lateral stiffness. A method of designing a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A geared architecture for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fan shaft, a frame which supports the fan shaft, the frame defines a frame stiffness and a plurality of gears which drives the fan shaft. A flexible support defines a flexible support stiffness that is less than the frame stiffness. The plurality of gears are supported by at least one of a carrier and the flexible support and an input coupling to the plurality of gears, the input coupling defines an input coupling stiffness with respect to the frame stiffness.

    Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil section that extends from a root section. The airfoil section extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chordwise direction and extends between a tip portion and the root section in a radial direction. The airfoil section defines a pressure side and a suction side separated in a thickness direction, and the airfoil section includes a metallic sheath that defines an internal cavity receiving a composite core. The root section defines at least one bore dimensioned to receive a retention pin. At least one damping element is received in the internal cavity and that selectively causes the airfoil section to stiffen.

    Abstract: A turbofan engine includes a fan section. A turbine section is in driving engagement with the fan section through a geared architecture. A flexible support supports the geared architecture relative to an engine static structure. A deflection limiter includes at least one of an axially extending branch or a radially extending branch. A flexible output shaft is in driving engagement with the fan section and driven by the geared architecture. A speed change mechanism for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
