Abstract
A method for assembling a planetary gearbox, wherein the planetary gearbox has a planetary carrier for mounting planetary gears, and wherein at least one of the planetary gears is inserted from the outside in the radial direction into an opening that is located at the circumference of the planetary carrier, the at least one planetary gear is then moved radially in the outward direction to the circumference of the planetary carrier, subsequently a sun gear is inserted through an opening in the center of the flat side wall of the carrier, and subsequently the at least one planetary gear is moved radially inward for engagement with the sun gear. A planetary carrier and an aircraft engine.
