Zusammenfassung:A turbofan engine comprises an engine case. A gaspath extends through the engine case. A fan has a circumferential array of fan blades. A fan case encircles the fan blades radially outboard of the engine case. A plurality of fan case vanes extend outward from the engine case to the fan case. A front frame assembly includes a plurality of vanes extending radially across the gaspath. A transmission couples a shaft to a fan shaft to drive the fan. A bearing assembly couples the shaft to the front frame assembly. A bearing support extends aftward and radially inward from the front frame assembly to the bearing assembly.
