A gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a turbo fan shaft and a turbo fan supported on the fan shaft, a compressor section having compressor hubs with blades driven about an axis, and an epicyclic gear system driving the fan shaft. The gear system includes a carrier supporting intermediate gears that mesh with a sun gear, a ring gear surrounding and meshing with the intermediate gears, the ring gear including first and second portions each having an inner periphery with teeth, the first and second portions abutting one another at a radial interface, each of the first and second portions including a flange extending radially outward, and the first and second portions having grooves at the radial interface which form a hole that expels oil through the ring gear to a gutter, and an input shaft driving the fan shaft through the gear system, the input shaft connected to the sun gear.

A gas turbine engine includes a bypass ratio greater than about ten (10). A fan is supported on a fan shaft and has a plurality of fan blades. There is a gutter with an annular channel. A gear system is connected to the fan shaft. There is a plurality of planetary gears and a ring gear with an aperture that is axially aligned with the annular channel. The ring gear includes a first portion with a first set of opposed angled teeth separated by a trough from a second portion with a second set of opposed angled teeth. A torque frame at least partially supports the gear system. A low pressure turbine has an inlet, an outlet, and a low pressure turbine pressure ratio greater than 5:1 and a low fan pressure ratio of less than 1.45 across the fan blade alone.

An engine turbocharger (10) includes a radially oriented oil deflector (50) that incorporates an oil guiding feature (70) to improve control of a continuous turbulent mass of oil being impelled against the deflector by an oil flinger (35). The oil deflector (50) has a downwardly extending tongue (60) to assist in directing oil flow from a thrust bearing chamber. The feature (70), formed on the tongue (60), enhances otherwise gravitationally directed oil flow into an engine oil sump. The feature is vertically oriented, and redirects oil thrown axially and rotationally against the deflector, providing improved piston ring sealing through more efficient evacuation of oil from the thrust bearing chamber. The feature may be formed by stamping, as either an integral disruptive surface rib, or as an otherwise radially oriented flange protruding axially from the surface of the tongue. Such flange may be integral with, or otherwise attached to, the oil deflector tongue, as for example via welding.
