    • A generator-gearbox assembly for a wind turbine A generator-gearbox assembly (200) for a wind turbine (100) comprising a generator (240) having a generator rotor (245); a gearbox (220) comprising an output shaft (230); and a connection assembly (300). The connection assembly (300) comprises a hub abutment surface (310), provided at an end (235) of the output shaft (230) and a plurality of shaft bolt holes (315); a hub (320) associated with the generator rotor (245) and comprising a body (325) and a first connecting portion (340) having a shaft abutment surface (345) facing towards the hub abutment surface (310) and at least one elongated slot (360) extending through the first connecting portion (340). The number of elongated slots (360) is less than or equal to the number of shaft bolt holes (315). A plurality of fasteners fixedly connect the hub (320) to the hub abutment surface (310), each fastener extending through a respective elongated slot (360) and a shaft bolt hole (315). Beneficially, the arrangement of the hub component with elongated slots to accommodate fixing fasteners reduces the likelihood of having to manoeuvre a cumbersome drive shaft or generator rotor into an exact position for attachment to each other. Since the slots are elongated, when the drive shaft is arranged to abut the first flange during assembly it is more likely that the shaft bolt holes of the hub abutment surface align with the elongated slots of the first flange, and so it is more likely that a connection can be made between the drive shaft and the rotor.
