  • Gas turbine engine air intake in a nacelle
    Patent number: 9091207
    Abstract: An assembly including a gas turbine engine and a nacelle in which the engine is housed, the nacelle including an air intake fairing that forms an air inlet and includes: a member for deflecting foreign objects, which together with the fairing, forms an air intake duct; and, downstream from the deflecting member, a secondary deflecting channel, and a main channel for supplying air to the engine. The air intake duct is configured to deflect at least some of the foreign objects sucked in through the air inlet towards the secondary deflecting channel. The secondary deflecting channel is shaped such that the flow velocity of the air flowing therethrough increases from upstream to downstream, the secondary channel having an outlet with an opening leading into the outer wall of the nacelle.
