Abstract: A fan assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a fan including a plurality of fan blades extending radially outwardly from a fan hub to a blade tip defining a fan diameter. A nacelle surrounds the fan and defines a fan inlet upstream of the fan, relative to an airflow direction into the fan. The nacelle has a forwardmost edge defining an inlet length from the forwardmost edge to a leading edge of a fan blade. A ratio of inlet length to fan diameter is between 0.20 and 0.45. A nacelle inner surface defines a nacelle flowpath having a convex throat portion and a diffusion portion between the throat portion and the leading edge of the fan blade at a topmost portion of the nacelle. The throat portion has a minimum throat radius measured from a fan central axis greater than a blade tip radius.

Abstract: A fan assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a fan including a plurality of fan blades. Each fan blade extends radially outwardly from a fan hub to a blade tip. The plurality of blade tips define a fan diameter. A nacelle surrounds the fan and defines a fan inlet upstream of the fan, relative to an airflow direction into the fan. The nacelle has a forwardmost edge defining an inlet length from the forwardmost edge to a leading edge of a fan blade of the plurality of fan blades. A ratio of inlet length to fan diameter is between 0.20 and 0.45. A nacelle inner surface defines a nacelle flowpath. The nacelle flowpath has a convex throat portion and a concave diffusion portion between the throat portion and the leading edge of the fan blade at a bottommost portion of the nacelle.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine that includes a fan nacelle and a core nacelle that provide a bypass flow path radially between. The fan nacelle has an inlet including a throat. The inlet has an inlet forward-most point. A fan is arranged in the bypass flow path and rotatable about an axis. The fan has a leading edge recessed from the inlet forward-most point an inlet length in an axial direction. A spinner has a spinner length from a spinner forward-most point to the leading edge. A ratio of the spinner length to inlet length is equal to or greater than about 0.5.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine assembly includes a fan. A diameter of the fan has a dimension D. The fan has a pressure ratio of greater than 1.20 and less than 1.45. A leading edge on an inlet portion of a nacelle is within a first reference plane oriented at an oblique angle. A forward most portion on the fan blade leading edges is in a second reference plane. A length of the inlet portion has a dimension L different at a plurality of locations on the inlet portion. A geared architecture has a gear reduction ratio of greater than 2.3, a bypass ratio is greater than 10, and a low pressure turbine includes a pressure ratio greater than 5:1. A dimensional relationship of UD is between 0.25 and 0.45. The leading edge on the inlet portion is further from the second reference plane near the top of the assembly.
