    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes an inlet duct to guide a core engine flow to a compressor and an engine section stator arranged in the inlet duct upstream of the compressor including vanes with leading edges defining a first annulus area in the inlet duct, a mid-span leading edge point of the engine section stator vanes being arranged at a first radius. The compressor includes a first rotor with a row of first blades with leading edges defining a second annulus area; a mid-span leading edge point of the compressor first blades being arranged at a second radius and an axial distance from the engine section stator vane mid-span leading edge point. The ratio of the second to the first annulus area is equal or greater than 0.75, and the ratio of a difference between the first and second radius to the axial distance is equal or greater than 0.23.
