    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a nacelle defining a centerline axis and an annular splitter radially inward from the nacelle. A spinner is radially inward of the nacelle forward of a compressor section. A fan blade extends from a fan blade platform. A distance X is the axial distance from a first point to a second point, wherein the first point is defined on a leading edge of the annular splitter and the second point is defined on a leading edge of the fan blade where the fan blade meets the fan blade platform. A distance H is the radial distance from the first point to the second point. The relative position of the first point and the second point is governed by the ratio of X/H≧1.5 for reducing foreign object debris (FOD) intake into the compressor section.
