A generator drive disconnect device 1 comprising a drive transfer means 100 having a connected configuration, and a disconnected configuration. The disconnect device 1 further comprises a disconnect mechanism 300, configured to move the drive transfer means from the connected configuration to the disconnected configuration, wherein the disconnect mechanism 300 comprises a rotatable face cam 310 and a follower 330 being arranged such that rotation of the face cam 310 in a first direction moves the follower 330 to drive the drive transfer means 100 from its connected configuration, into its disconnected configuration. Other aspects of the invention relate to an aircraft engine assembly and an aircraft comprises the generator drive disconnect device 1. The arrangement provides a simple, reliable device with relatively lower manufacturing costs.
