Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a fan that includes a plurality of fan blades rotatable about an axis. An on-wing portion includes a compressor section and a combustor that is in fluid communication with the compressor section. A turbine section is in fluid communication with the combustor. A core flow path is arranged within a core nacelle. The fan is arranged upstream from the core flow path. A fan drive gear system module is coupled to the turbine section for rotating the fan about the axis. A connector assembly including first and second members respectively is secured to the on-wing portion and the fan drive gear system module. The first and second members are removably secured to one another by radially extending fasteners. The first members are connected to an on-wing portion of the gas turbine engine and the second members are connected to the fan drive gear system module. The fasteners are accessible through the bypass flow path.
