Abstract:
A nacelle for a gas turbine engine includes a leading edge at an upstream side of the nacelle. The nacelle further includes a trailing edge at a downstream side of the nacelle. The nacelle further includes an outer surface disposed between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The nacelle further includes a concave section continuous with the outer surface and disposed proximal to the trailing edge. The concave section includes an upstream end and a downstream end spaced apart from the upstream end. The concave section is curved radially inwards relative to the outer surface between the upstream end and the downstream end.
