Patent attributes
What is described is an aircraft engine with a compressor device and with a fan device. In the area of a compressor shaft, the compressor device is connected via an epicyclic gear to a fan shaft. A planetary web is operatively connected via bearing devices to the planetary gears. A ring gear is coupled with the fan shaft and a sun gear of the epicyclic gear is coupled with the compressor shaft, while the planetary carrier is held at the housing side in a torque-proof manner. The ring gear is connected via a flexible connection device to the fan shaft and/or the planetary carrier is connected via a flexible connection device to the housing. In the area of the connection device, movements between the ring gear and the planetary gears and/or between the planetary carrier and the housing can be at least approximately compensated in the radial and the axial direction.
