Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A propulsion system is provided. The propulsion system defines a radial direction and includes a rotating element; a stationary element; an inlet assembly defining an inlet positioned between the rotating element and the stationary element and positioned inward of the stationary element along the radial direction, the inlet assembly comprising an inlet duct located downstream of the inlet; and a ducted fan comprising a plurality of fan blades positioned at least partially in the inlet duct; wherein the inlet duct divides into a first duct and a second duct separate from the first duct, wherein the first duct is a core duct downstream of the ducted fan, wherein the second duct is a fan duct downstream of the ducted fan, and wherein the second duct includes an exhaust nozzle having a plurality of chevrons disposed at an aft end of the exhaust nozzle to define an exhaust outlet.
