    Abstract: A turbomachine engine can include a fan assembly, a vane assembly, a core engine, and a gearbox. The fan assembly can include a plurality of fan blades. The vane assembly can include a plurality of vanes, and the vanes can be disposed aft of the fan blades. The core engine can include one or more compressor sections and one or more turbine sections. The gearbox includes an input and an output. The input is coupled to the one or more turbine sections of the core engine and comprises a first rotational speed, the output is coupled to the fan assembly and has a second rotational speed. A gear ratio of the first rotational speed to the second rotational speed is within a range of 4.1-14.0.

    Abstract: A gear assembly for an aeronautical engine that includes a first gear disposed at a centerline axis of the gear assembly; a second gear coupled to the first gear in adjacent radial arrangement to form a first mesh between the first gear and the second gear; a third gear coupled to the second gear in adjacent radial arrangement to form a second mesh between the second gear and the third gear; a collector rotatably coupled with the third gear; and a lubricant input portion disposed between a portion of the first gear and the second gear such that a first supply opening of the lubricant input portion is directed at the first mesh between the first gear and the second gear. The first supply opening provides a flow of lubricant to the first mesh with a portion of the flow of lubricant is collected by the collector.

    Abstract: An integrated lubrication system and an engine that includes the integrated lubrication system. The system has a first and a second lubrication supply line and one or more spray bars. The first lubrication supply line extends radially inward toward a central axis of the engine, has a first plurality of jet outlets, and is configured to deliver a lubrication fluid to a first location on one or more engine components. The second lubrication supply line extends parallel to the central axis, has a second plurality of jet outlets, and is configured to deliver the lubrication fluid to a second location on the one or more engine components. The first lubrication supply line is configured to lubricate the one or more engine components in a first engine power condition and the second lubrication supply line is configured to lubricate the one or more engine components in a second engine power condition.
