Zusammenfassung:A gear baffle, a gearbox of a gas turbine engine including a gear baffle, and a method of installing a gear baffle adjacent to a gear in a gearbox of a gas turbine engine are disclosed. The gearbox includes a housing, having disposed therein a gear, and a baffle adjacent to the gear to interact with lubricant fluid around the gear. The baffle includes a first interface for attaching the baffle to a structure to a first side of the gear, and a second interface for attaching the baffle to a structure to a second, axially opposite, side of the gear. The second interface may be axially spaced apart from the first interface by an axial distance. The baffle may include a main wall interconnecting the first interface with the second interface. The main wall may include a compliant corrugation that accommodates a variation in the axial distance between the first interface and the second interface.
