    摘要: A gearbox assembly includes a plurality of planet gears secured by a planet carrier. The plurality of planet gears and the planet carrier rotate about a longitudinal centerline axis. A planet pin is disposed in each planet gear. One or more journal bearings are defined by the planet pin and the planet gear, each planet gear rotating about the one or more journal bearings. The gearbox assembly includes an auxiliary lubrication system that stores lubricant therein. The auxiliary lubrication system includes one or more lubricant lines that provide fluid communication between the auxiliary lubrication system and the one or more journal bearings. Rotation of the planet carrier and the one or more journal bearings generates a suction effect that causes the lubricant in the auxiliary lubrication system to flow to the one or more journal bearings during windmilling conditions and during zero gravity conditions or negative gravity conditions.

    摘要: A turbomachine engine can include a fan assembly, a vane assembly, a core engine, a gearbox, and an overall engine efficiency rating. The fan assembly can include a plurality of fan blades. The vane assembly can include a plurality of vanes, and the vanes can, in some instances, be disposed aft of the fan blades. The core engine can include a low-pressure turbine. The gearbox includes an input and an output. The input of the gearbox is coupled to the low-pressure turbine of the core engine and comprises a first rotational speed, the output of the gearbox is coupled to the fan assembly and has a second rotational speed, and a gear ratio of the first rotational speed to the second rotational speed is within a range of 2.0-4.0. The overall engine efficiency rating is greater than or equal to 0.35GR1.5 and less than or equal to 0.7GR1.5.

    摘要: A gearbox assembly includes a first gear and a second gear. The first gear includes a plurality of first gear teeth. The second gear includes a plurality of second gear teeth. The plurality of first gear teeth and the plurality of second gear teeth mesh with each other as the first gear and the second gear rotate. A profile shape of at least one first gear tooth of the first gear is characterized by a total profile modification between 66 micrometers and 120 micrometers.

    摘要: A turbomachine engine according to aspects of the present disclosure is provided. The engine includes a fan assembly including a plurality of fan blades, and a core engine surrounded by an outer casing. The core engine includes a power output component operably connected to the fan assembly, a first input power source and a second input power source. The first input power source is counter-rotatable relative to the second input power source. The core engine includes a gear assembly operably connected to the power output component and configured to receive power from the first input power source and the second input power source.
