Zusammenfassung: | An air intake for an open rotor engine including a propulsive blade array having a plurality of blades each having a gas washed surface extending radially outwardly relative to an axis or rotation from a root end to a tip. Intake has first and second circumferential walls extending about axis of rotation at a location downstream of propulsive blade array. First and second walls are spaced in a radial direction to define an annular passage with opening having a height dimension extending a portion of the way along propulsive blade array span. Intake further includes an annular lip arranged about axis of rotation at a radial distance such that lip bifurcates the annular passage at a height which separates a boundary layer flow portion of intake flow from a remainder of intake flow. Lip may define a collection scroll for foreign object debris and cooling air for the engine. |
