    摘要: An aircraft includes a boundary layer ingestion fan defining a centerline and including a plurality of fan blades rotatable about the centerline. The aircraft also includes a fuselage extending between a forward end and an aft end along a longitudinal direction, the boundary layer ingestion fan positioned within the fuselage at the aft end of the fuselage, the fuselage defining an inlet upstream of the boundary layer ingestion fan extending at least about 180 degrees around the centerline of the boundary layer ingestion fan, the fuselage further defining an exhaust downstream of the boundary layer ingestion fan.

    摘要: Aircraft gas turbine engine spinner includes conical forward spinner section extending aftwardly from spinner tip to a curved aft spinner section circumscribed about centerline axis, a spinner aspect ratio greater than about 1.8, and wherein spinner aspect ratio is an axial distance between spinner tip and spinner end divided by radial distance from axis to spinner end. Aspect ratio may be in a range of about 2.0-2.2 or about 2.2-2.8. Aft spinner section may be substantially tangential to platform leading edges of platforms of fan blades. Aft spinner section may have cambered or an elliptical axially curved cross-section.Spinner axial cross-section may have longer spinner axial distance compared to baseline axial distance of baseline cross-section and spinner aspect ratio greater than baseline aspect ratio of baseline cross-section.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to an aircraft including a fuselage to which a pair or more of wings attaches. The aircraft defines a transverse direction, a longitudinal direction, and a latitudinal direction. The aircraft includes a wing extended from the fuselage along the transverse direction in which the wing defines a leading edge, and a gas turbine engine coupled to the wing. The engine defines an axial centerline therethrough along the longitudinal direction. The engine includes a nacelle including an outer wall extended around the axial centerline. The nacelle defines a radial reference plane extended perpendicular from the axial centerline. The outer wall defines an outer wall point closest to the fuselage. The radial reference plane extends through a reference line defined along the latitudinal direction from the outer wall point to the leading edge of the wing. The engine further includes a low pressure (LP) turbine rotor that includes an upstream-most first turbine rotor concentric to the axial centerline. The first turbine rotor is disposed downstream along the longitudinal direction of the radial reference plane.
