Abstract
A mounting assembly for a gearbox assembly of a gas turbine engine includes at least one mounting member configured to mount a gear of the gearbox assembly to a component of the gas turbine engine, the at least one mounting member characterized by a lateral impedance parameter, a bending impedance parameter, and a torsional impedance parameter. A gas turbine engine includes the mounting assembly. The at least one mounting member may be a flex mount, a fan frame, or a flex coupling. The gear includes a first gear that is a split sun gear including a forward sun gear and an aft sun gear separate from the forward sun gear. The forward sun gear and the aft sun gear are each rotationally coupled to a rotating shaft of the gas turbine engine.
