The invention relates to a high power epicyclic gearbox and operation thereof. A gas turbine engine for an aircraft is provided, comprising: an engine core comprising a turbine, a compressor, and a mandrel connecting the turbine to the compressor; a fan upstream of the engine core and including a plurality of fan blades; and a gearbox receiving input from the gearbox input shaft portion of the mandrel and outputting drive to the fan shaft to drive the fan at a lower rotational speed than the mandrel, the gearbox being an epicyclic gearbox, a planetary gear train includes a sun gear, a plurality of planetary gears, a ring gear, and a planet carrier arranged to have a plurality of planetary gears mounted thereon, and wherein the sun gear receives an input from a mandrel. In a cruise condition, the torque on the mandrel is greater than 10,000 Nm. In cruise conditions, the ratio of mandrel stiffness to mandrel torque is within a specified range. A method of operating such an engine is also disclosed.

    本公开涉及高功率周转齿轮箱及其操作。提供了一种用于飞行器的气体涡轮引擎,包括:引擎核心,其包括涡轮、压缩机以及将涡轮连接到压缩机的芯轴;风扇,其位于引擎核心的上游并且包括多个风扇叶片;以及齿轮箱,其接收来自芯轴的齿轮箱输入轴部分的输入并且将驱动输出至风扇轴,以便以比芯轴低的旋转速度驱动风扇,齿轮箱是周转齿轮箱,其包括太阳齿轮、多个行星齿轮、环形齿轮以及被布置成具有安装在其上的多个行星齿轮的行星架,并且其中太阳齿轮接收来自芯轴的输入。在巡航条件下,芯轴上的扭矩大于10,000Nm。在巡航条件下,芯轴刚度与芯轴扭矩的比率在指定范围内。还公开了一种操作此类引擎的方法。
