Flexible support for aircraft motor bearing

An assembly for an aircraft motor, comprising:

• a bearing extending circumferentially around an axis;
• a stationary structure circumscribing the bearing;
• and
• a flexible support arranged radially between and radially engaging the bearing and the stationary structure, the flexible support including a first ring, a second ring, a plurality of bridges and a plurality of first ribs;
• the plurality of bridges arranged circumferentially about the axis, and each of the plurality of bridges extending radially between and connected to the first ring and the second ring;
• and
• the plurality of first ribs arranged circumferentially about the axis and interspersed with the plurality of bridges, each of the plurality of first ribs projecting radially out from the first ring towards the second ring, each of the plurality of first ribs connected to the first ring and disengaged from the second ring, and each of the plurality of first ribs separated from the second ring by a respective radial gap.
