Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a quasi-non-dimensional mass flow rate in a defined range and a specific thrust in a defined range to achieve improved overall performance, taking into account fan operability and/or bird strike requirements as well as engine efficiency. The defined ranges of quasi-non-dimensional mass flow rate and specific thrust may be particularly beneficial for gas turbine engines in which the fan is driven by a turbine through a gearbox.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft comprises: an engine core comprising a turbine, a compressor, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor; a fan located upstream of the engine core, the fan comprising a plurality of fan blades; a bypass duct delimited by a bypass duct inner wall and a bypass duct outer wall and located radially outwardly from the engine core and downstream of the fan; and an outlet guide vane assembly, located within the bypass duct and, comprising a plurality of outlet guide vanes distributed circumferentially within the bypass duct, each outlet guide vane extending radially along a span between the bypass duct inner wall and the bypass duct outer wall, wherein a space-chord ratio of at least one outlet guide vane, at 50% of the span length from the bypass duct inner wall, is less than 0.72.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a cycle operability parameter β in a defined range to achieve improved overall performance, taking into account fan operability and/or bird strike requirements as well as engine efficiency. The defined range of cycle operability parameter β may be particularly beneficial for gas turbine engines in which the fan is driven by a turbine through a gearbox.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine system has an engine core and a bypass duct. A fan drives the flow through the bypass duct. A bypass efficiency is defined as the efficiency of the fan compression of the bypass flow. The bypass efficiency is a function of the bypass flow rate at a given set of conditions. The fan bypass inlet mass flow rate at the reference operating point is appreciably higher than the mass flow rate through the bypass duct at the peak bypass efficiency at a given fan reference rotational speed and cruise conditions. This results in increased design flexibility and improved overall engine performance.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine 10 is provided in a fan root to tip pressure ratio, defined as the ratio of the mean total pressure of the flow at the fan exit that subsequently flows through the engine core (P102) to the mean total pressure of the flow at the fan exit that subsequently flows through the bypass duct (P104), is no greater than a certain value. The gas turbine engine 10 may provide improved efficiency when compared with conventional engines, whilst retaining an acceptable flutter margin.

Abstract: A fan blade for a gas turbine engine has a covered passage. A cross section through the fan blade at a point along the blade span is defined as having particular change in angle (α3−α1) of the camber line between the leading edge and the trailing edge and/or between the leading edge and the point on the camber line that corresponds to the start of the covered passage.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a quasi-non-dimensional mass flow rate in a defined range and a specific thrust in a defined range to achieve improved over all performance, taking into account fan operability and/or bird strike requirements as well as engine efficiency. The defined ranges of quasi-non-dimensional mass flow rate and specific thrust may be particularly beneficial for gas turbine engines in which the fan is driven by a turbine through a gearbox.
