FLUID COLLECTION GUTTER FOR A GEARED TURBINE ENGINE

A turbine engine system includes a gutter (40) and a gear train (22) with an axial centerline (28). The gutter (40) is disposed radially outside of the axial centerline (28). The gutter (40) at least partially circumscribes the gear train (22), and includes an inner surface (42) and a channel (44). The channel (44) receives fluid directed out of the gear train (22). The channel (44) extends radially into the gutter (40) from the inner surface (42) to a channel end (84), and circumferentially to a channel outlet (58, 58'). At least a portion of the channel (44) has a cross-sectional channel geometry that tapers axially as the channel (44) extends radially towards the channel end (84).
