Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to a vane assembly for an open fan engine having a rotor and a stator. The vane assembly is a plurality of vanes each arranged about the stator. Each of the vanes of the vane assembly has a leading edge (LE) with a leading edge angle (LEA). A combination of aircraft angle of attack, sideslip, and upwash due to lifting bodies can create a flow angularity into the engine. The leading edge angle (LEA) of each of the vanes varies depending upon the circumferential location about the stator so that the impact on the flow angularity into the engine is reduced or increased in different circumferential regions.

Abstract: Apparatuses and systems are provided herein for unducted propulsion systems. The system includes a forward housing for high efficiency for high subsonic sustained flight. A plurality of blades are affixed to the forward housing, wherein the forward housing defines a flowpath curve extending from the forward-most end of the forward housing through the axial extent of a forward blade root. The flowpath curve is described by an axial direction parallel to an axis of rotation and a radius from the axis of rotation. The flowpath curve includes a first point having a first radius where the radius reaches a maximum forward of the forward blade root and a second point aft of the first point having a second radius where the radius stops decreasing. The ratio of the first radius to the second radius is greater than or equal to 1.029.

Abstract: A variable pitch fan for a propulsion device is provided. The variable pitch fan includes a plurality of fan blades coupled to a disk and a rotatable front hub covering the disk. Each fan blade is rotatable about a pitch axis to vary a pitch of the fan blade. The pitch is variable within a pitch range that is at least about 80° to about 130°. Each fan blade extends radially outward from the disk along a span from a root to a tip. A portion of the span adjacent the root defines a root span region, a portion of the span adjacent the tip defines a tip span region. A solidity of the variable pitch fan is at least 1.0 in the root span region.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to aircraft having one or more unducted fan propulsors at locations within specific regions relative to an airfoil, such as a wing or horizontal stabilizer. More specifically, the specific regions are located where there is a relatively higher pressure air flow beneath the wings or above a horizontal stabilizer. That higher pressure air flow can be utilized to provide increased thrust from the unducted fan propulsor.
