    Abstract: A rotor blade comprises an airfoil extending radially from a root section to a tip section and axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge, the leading and trailing edges defining a curvature therebetween. The curvature determines a relative exit angle at a relative span height between the root section and the tip section, based on an incident flow velocity at the leading edge of the airfoil and a rotational velocity at the relative span height. In operation of the rotor blade, the relative exit angle determines a substantially flat exit pressure ratio profile for relative span heights from 75% to 95%, wherein the exit pressure ratio profile is constant within a tolerance of 10% of a maximum value of the exit pressure ratio profile.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a first airflow structure and a second airflow structure disposed aft of the first airflow structure. The second airflow structure includes a leading edge region. A thickness of the leading edge region is based on a thickness of a wake in the airflow produced by the first airflow structure when the airflow passes between the first airflow structure and the second airflow structure.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a spool and a turbine coupled to drive the spool. A fan is coupled to be driven by the turbine through the spool. A gear assembly is coupled between the fan and the spool such that rotation of the spool drives the fan at a different speed than the spool. A fan nozzle is located downstream from the fan. The fan nozzle includes a variable area nozzle configured to change an exit area of the fan nozzle. An acoustic liner partially lines the fan nozzle.

    Abstract: A turbine engine system mounted on an aircraft wing includes a gas turbine engine having a spool, a turbine coupled with the spool, a fan coupled to be rotated about an axis through the spool, and a gear assembly coupled between the fan and spool such that rotation of the spool results in rotation of the fan at a different speed than the spool. The gas turbine engine is operable to discharge a jet plume that interacts with a flap of the aircraft wing. The gas turbine engine defines a design fan pressure ratio of 1.25-1.50 to control sound resulting from the jet plume that interacts with the flap.
