Abstract
An air-inlet duct includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and a splitter. The splitter cooperates with the outer wall and the inner wall to establish a particle separator which separates particles entrained in an inlet flow moving through the air-inlet duct to provide a clean flow of air to a compressor section of a gas turbine engine.
