Abstract
There is proposed a fan casing arrangement for a gas turbine engine () of a type having a propulsive fan (), the fan casing arrangement being configured to circumscribe the fan () and having a fan case () and a fan track liner. The fan track liner is provided around the inside of the fan case () so as to adopt a radial position between the fan () and the fan case (), and the arrangement is configured such that the fan track liner includes a liner ring () which is radially outwardly biased against the inside of the fan case (). A related method of installing a fan track liner in a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
