A gas turbine engine includes a fan and a rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotor, a plurality of magnets, and an annular retaining sleeve. The rotor includes a radially outer wall spaced apart from a central axis of the engine by an axially forward and an axially aft annular end wall. The magnets are located radially outward of the rotor and arranged on the outer wall in axial alignment with each other, the magnets being configured to move radially relative to each other and remain in contact with the outer wall in response to elastic deformation of the outer wall. The sleeve radially surrounds the magnets so as to structurally support and secure the magnets to the rotor, the sleeve being elastically deformable in the radial direction and configured to elastically deform based on the radial movement of the magnets.
