Abstract
A geared architecture for a gas turbine engine includes a central gear supported for rotation about the axis, a plurality of intermediate gears engaged with the central gear and a ring gear circumscribing the intermediate gears. A first flexible coupling is provided between an input shaft driven by a turbine section and the sun gear. The geared architecture provides a power density comprising a power measured in horsepower (HP) related to a weight of the geared architecture within a defined range that benefits overall engine weight and efficiency.
