Abstract: An airfoil assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil including an airfoil section extending from a root section. The airfoil section extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge in a chordwise direction and extending 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 circumferential direction. A root mount includes first and second mount members secured to circumferentially opposed sides of the root section. Arcuate circumferential faces of the first and second mount members are dimensioned to pivotably mount the root section to a hub in an installed position. A method of assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: A rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a rotatable hub that has a main body and an array of annular flanges that extend about an outer periphery of the main body to define an array of annular channels. An array of airfoils are circumferentially distributed about the outer periphery. Each one of the airfoils includes an airfoil section extending from a root section received in the annular channels. Retention pins extend through the root section of a respective one of the airfoils and through the array of annular flanges to mechanically attach each root section to the hub.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan shaft that drives a fan that has fan blades. The fan delivers airflow to a bypass duct. A gear system is connected to the fan shaft and is driven through an input defining an input lateral stiffness and an input transverse stiffness. A gear system flex mount arrangement accommodates misalignment of the fan shaft and the input during operation. A frame for supporting the fan shaft defines a frame lateral stiffness and a frame transverse stiffness. The input lateral stiffness is less than 11% of the frame lateral stiffness and the input transverse stiffness is less that 11% of the frame transverse stiffness.

Abstract: A turbofan engine includes a propulsor section that has a propulsor shaft in driving engagement with a propulsor. An epicyclic gear system has a gear mesh lateral stiffness and a gear mesh transverse stiffness. A gear system input defines a gear system input lateral stiffness and a gear system input transverse stiffness. The gear system input lateral stiffness is less than 5% of the gear mesh lateral stiffness. A first turbine section rotates at a first speed, and a second turbine rotates at a second speed that is faster than the first speed. A first performance quantity is defined as the product of the first speed squared and the first area of the first turbine, a second performance quantity is defined as the product of the second speed squared and the second area of the second turbine, and a performance quantity ratio is between 0.5 and 1.5.
