Accessory Gearbox Assembly

An accessory gearbox assembly for an aircraft includes one or more intermeshed gears (16) disposed in a gearbox housing (18) and configured to transfer rotational energy from an engine core (12). An accessory component (22) has a spur gear (28) located at least partially in an accessory housing (30). The spur gear is meshed with a gear (16) of the one or more gears thereby transferring rotational energy from the gearbox (10) to the accessory component. A method for providing rotational energy to an accessory component (22) at an accessory gearbox (10) includes providing rotational energy to one or more intermeshed gears (16) of an accessory gearbox and locating an accessory component at the accessory gearbox. The accessory component (22) includes a spur gear (28) disposed at least partially in an accessory housing. The spur gear (28) is meshed with a gear (16) of the one or more gears and rotational energy is transferred to the accessory component via the spur gear.
