Abstract: A heat exchanger positioned within an annular duct of a gas turbine engine is provided. The heat exchanger extends substantially continuously along the circumferential direction and defining a heat exchanger height equal to at least 10% of a duct height. An effective transmission loss (ETL) for the heat exchanger positioned within the annular duct is between 5 decibels and 1 decibels for an operating condition of the gas turbine engine. The heat exchanger includes a heat transfer section defining an acoustic length (Li), and wherein an Operational Acoustic Reduction Ratio (OARR) is greater than or equal to 0.75 to achieve the ETL at the operating condition.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a fan, a core turbine engine coupled to the fan, a fan case housing the fan and the core turbine engine, a plurality of outlet guide vanes extending between the core turbine engine and the fan case, and an acoustic spacing. The fan comprises a plurality of fan blades that define a fan diameter and a BEAL. The fan case comprises an inlet and an inlet length between the inlet and the fan. The acoustic spacing comprises a distance between the fan and the plurality of outlet guide vanes, and in combination with the BEAL determines an acoustic spacing ratio of the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A turbomachinery engine includes an unducted rotor assembly, a low-pressure turbine, a low-pressure shaft, a gearbox, and an engine correlation parameter. The unducted rotor assembly includes a plurality of rotor blades arranged in a single row and defining a blade diameter. The gearbox includes an input, an output, and a gear ratio. The input of the gearbox is coupled to the low-pressure shaft (which is coupled to the LPT), and the output of the gearbox is coupled to the unducted rotor assembly. The engine correlation parameter is greater than 0.17 and less than 0.83. The engine correlation parameter equals D/N/GR, where D is the blade tip diameter measured in feet, N is the stage count of the low-pressure turbine, and GR is the gear ratio of the gearbox. The unducted propulsor assembly optionally includes a disk loading within a range of 60-180 HP/ft2 at a takeoff flight condition.
