Abstract
Gas turbine engine for aircraft includes: an engine core including a turbine, compressor, and core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor; a fan located upstream of the core; a gearbox; and a gearbox support arranged to at least partially support the gearbox. The fan has a mass in a range of 150 kg to 1200 kg. A moment of inertia of the fan is greater than or equal to 7.40×10kgmm. A radial bending stiffness to moment of inertia ratio of: may be greater than or equal to 2.5×10Nkgmmm. A tilt stiffness to moment of inertia ratio of: may be greater than or equal to 4.0×10Nmradkgmm.
