  • FAN INTEGRATED INERTIAL PARTICLE SEPARATOR
    Publication number: 20190024587
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan, an engine core, and an airflow duct assembly. The fan is mounted for rotation about a central axis of the gas turbine engine assembly to produce thrust for the gas turbine engine. The engine core is coupled to the fan and configured to drive the fan about the central axis. The airflow duct assembly defines a core passageway configured to conduct a first portion of air pushed by the fan into the engine core and a by-pass passageway configured to conduct a second portion air pushed by the fan around the engine core.
