  • Turbofan engine assembly and methods of assembling the same
    Patent number: 10760589
    Abstract: A turbofan engine assembly includes a core gas turbine engine with a booster compressor having a radially outer diameter, a fan case assembly, and an outlet guide vane assembly. The outlet guide vane assembly includes a plurality of outlet guide vane segments spaced circumferentially about the core gas turbine engine. Each outlet guide vane segment of the plurality of outlet guide vane segments includes a radially inner fan hub frame flange configured to couple to the core gas turbine engine, a radially outer fan case flange configured to couple to the fan case assembly, and a plurality of outlet guide vanes extending therebetween. The radially inner diameter of the outlet guide vane assembly is smaller than the radially outer diameter of the booster compressor.
