Abstract
A gear wheel of a transmission, in particular of a transmission of a gas turbine engine is described, which is designed with a groove which extends in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of a base body of the gear wheel and in which fibers running at least in the circumferential direction are arranged. The fibers surround the base body in the circumferential direction, wherein the fibers at least partially support the operating loads on the gear wheel only on a breakage of the base body.
