Abstract
A planetary gearbox for a gas turbine engine has a planet gear rotatably mounted on a carrier element, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a planet carrier. An oil feed pocket is in a region of an external side of the carrier element, via which oil is passed into a bearing gap between the carrier element and the planet gear. The carrier element has a duct carrying oil. The duct in is provided radially within an external side of the carrier element, having a cross section which is closed in relation to the bearing gap. The duct in the flow direction of the oil has at least two sequential duct portions. The flow cross section of the duct in a transition region between an upstream duct portion and a next downstream duct portion decreases in an at least approximately step-shaped manner.
