A propeller shaft assembly for an aircraft engine includes a shaft having a bore extending through the shaft at a front end thereof, the front end of the shaft having an outer surface facing radially outwardly from the shaft and an inner surface spaced apart from the outer surface and facing radially inwardly to the bore. A front flange extends radially outwardly on the outer surface, the front flange defining a hub side surface adapted to abut with a propeller hub. A reinforcement rib extends radially inwardly towards a central axis of the shaft. At least part of the reinforcement rib is radially aligned with the front flange.
