Turbine engine gearbox assembly with sets of inline gears

An assembly for a gas turbine engine with an axial centerline, the assembly comprising:

• a first rotating assembly rotatable about the axial centerline and comprising a first rotor including a plurality of first rotor blades;
• a second rotating assembly rotatable about the axial centerline and comprising a second rotor including a plurality of second rotor blades;
• a gearbox including a plurality of intermeshed first gears and a plurality of intermeshed second gears, the first gears rotatable about respective first axes that are non-parallel with the axial centerline, and the second gears rotatable about respective second axes that are non-parallel with the axial centerline;
• a first tower shaft, the first gears driven by the first rotating assembly through the first tower shaft;
• and,
• a second tower shaft angularly offset from the first tower shaft, the second gears driven by the second rotating assembly through the second tower shaft wherein the gearbox further includes a drive shaft coupled with one of the first gears;
• and one of the second gears is rotable about the drive shaft.

An assembly for a gas turbine engine with an axial centerline, the assembly comprising:

• a gearbox including
• a plurality of first gears meshed together and respectively rotatable about parallel first gear axes;
• a plurality of second gears meshed together and respectively rotatable about parallel second gear axes, wherein each of the first gear axes and each of the second gear axes is non-parallel with the axial centerline;
• and
• a drive shaft coupled with one of the first gears, wherein one of the second gears is rotatable about the drive shaft;
• a first torque transmission apparatus configured to drive the first gears;
• and
• a second torque transmission apparatus configured to drive the second gears independent of the first gears.
