Abstract

A fan casing assembly comprising an annular casing member for circumferentially surrounding a fan, and an annular fan track liner comprising a plurality of circumferentially adjacent liner panels. The annular fan track liner is positioned radially inward of the annular casing member. A tilting arrangement is provided and configured to selectively circumferentially tilt one or more of the liner panels, such that, in the event of a fan blade being released from a fan, the tilting arrangement can initiate tilting of one or more liner panels so that the liner panels can trim one or more of the remaining fan blades.
