    Abstract: A turbofan engine and an outlet guide vane structure for the turbofan engine is provided. The outlet guide vane structure includes a non-uniform plurality of outlet guide vanes utilized in a bypass duct and between a radially inward wall and a radially outward wall. The non-uniform plurality of outlet guide vanes have varying chord lengths at the base of the outlet guide vanes along the radially inward wall. The non-uniform plurality of outlet guide vanes may include structural outlet guide vanes, non-structural outlet guide vanes, and cut-out outlet guide vanes. The non-uniform plurality of outlet guide vanes include at least one outlet guide vane integrated with a pylon and/or a bifurcation of the turbofan engine. The cut-out outlet guide vane may be integrated with the pylon and/or bifurcation. The cut-out may include a leading edge and a trailing edge disposed in front of a leading edge of the pylon.

    Abstract: A single degree of freedom (SDOF) acoustic liner includes a porous face sheet, a substantially imperforate back sheet generally parallel to and opposing said porous face sheet and defining a thickness therebetween, and an acoustic core layer of contiguous adjacent resonant cavities disposed between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet. The acoustic core layer includes a first resonant cell having a first internal volume therein and a second resonant cell having a second internal volume therein different than the first internal volume. A cell partition wall extends between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet, and separates and seals the first resonant cell from the second resonant cell. In a thickness direction, and perpendicular to a plane generally parallel with the porous face sheet and the substantially imperforate back sheet, the first internal volume overlaps the second internal volume over the cell partition wall.
