A gearbox has a first rotative component and a second rotative component, the gearbox having a rotary input and a rotary output, a first brake for braking the first rotative component of the gearbox against rotation thereof, and a second brake for braking the second rotative component of the gearbox against rotation thereof. The rotary input drives the rotary output if the first brake brakes the first rotative component of the gearbox and the rotary output drives the first rotative component of the gearbox if the second brake brakes the second rotative component of the gearbox.

1. A geared turbofan emergency power apparatus comprising: a planetary gear set having a first, second and third rotative component;a turbine shaft from a gas turbine engine integrally connected as a rotary input to the second rotative component;a rotary ouput;a fan integrally connected with the third rotative component;a first brake for braking said first rotative component against rotation thereof;a second brake for braking said second rotative component against rotation thereof; andwherein said rotary input drives said rotary output if said first brake brakes said first rotative component; and wherein said rotary output drives the first rotative component which thereby drives a power generating component when the second brake brakes said second rotative component in an emergency condition. 2. The geared turbofan emergency power apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said power generating component is an electrical power generating component. 3. The geared turbofan emergency power apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the power generating component is a pump for fluid. 4. The geared turbofan emergency power apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the emergency is the gas turbine engine becoming inoperable. 5. The geared turbo fan emergency power apparatus as set forth in claim 4, wherein said rotary output is driven to rotate said first rotative component by said fan windmilling when the gas turbine engine is operable.
