Abstract: The nacelle can have an inlet portion having a duct wall and an outer skin, the duct wall being annular around an axis and having a surface forming a radially-outer delimitation to a gas path upstream of a fan area, the duct wall extending from a rounded inlet edge of the nacelle to the fan area, a cavity located inside the inlet portion, a compressed air inlet leading into the cavity, and an outlet fluidly connecting the cavity to the gas path, the outlet having a plurality of apertures disposed circumferentially around the duct wall, the apertures sloping circumferentially.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an engine are provided. An engine core temperature is monitored. When the engine core temperature is below an engine thermal limit adjusted for a level of deterioration of the engine, an output power of the engine is set in accordance with a reference power based on non-thermal limits of the engine. When the engine core temperature is near or above the engine thermal limit adjusted for the level of deterioration of the engine, the output power of the engine is set to a value lower than the reference power based on non-thermal limits of the engine to reduce the engine core temperature.

Abstract: The nacelle can have an inlet fluidly connecting a main gas path of a gas turbine engine core, the inlet having an inlet edge connecting an external skin to an internal duct wall, and a step formed in a surface of at least one of the skin and the duct wall, the step delimiting a first portion of the surface from a second portion of the surface, the second portion of the surface being recessed relative to the first portion of the surface, the second portion of the surface extending away from both the step and the inlet edge, whereas the first portion of the surface extends between the inlet edge and the step.
