    Abstract: 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.
