Zusammenfassung:A turbine engine system includes a gutter (40) and a gear train (22) with an axial centerline (28). The gutter is disposed radially outside of the axial centerline. The gutter includes an inner surface (42) and a channel (44) that receives fluid directed out of the gear train. The channel extends radially into the gutter from the inner surface, and circumferentially to a channel outlet (58). The inner surface has a surface radius, and the channel has a radially extending channel height that is equal to or less than eight percent of the surface radius and/or the channel has an axially extending channel width that is equal to or less than fifteen percent of the surface radius.
