    Abstract: A turbofan engine includes a fan section. A turbine section is in driving engagement with the fan section through a planetary gear system. The planetary gear system includes a plurality of planet gears surrounding a sun gear. A carrier supports the plurality of planet gears and includes a first carrier bearing flange. A ring gear surrounds the plurality of planet gears and includes a ring gear bearing flange. At least one ring gear carrier bearing engages the carrier bearing flange and the ring gear bearing flange. A speed change mechanism for a gas turbine is also disclosed.

    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. The airfoil section includes a metallic sheath that receives a composite core. The core includes first and second ligaments received in respective internal channels defined by the sheath such that the first and second ligaments are spaced apart along the root section with respect to the chordwise direction. Each one of the first and second ligaments includes at least one interface portion in the root section, and at least one interface portion of the first ligament and the at least one interface portion of the second ligament define respective sets of bores aligned to receive a common retention pin.
