Abstract
A turbine engine is disclosed that includes a fan case surrounding a fan rotatable about an axis. A core is supported relative to the fan case by support structure arranged downstream from the fan. The core includes a core housing having an inlet case arranged to receive airflow from the fan. A compressor case is arranged axially adjacent to the inlet case and surrounds a compressor stage having a rotor blade with a blade trailing edge. The support structure includes a support structure leading edge facing the fan and a support structure trailing edge on a side opposite the support structure leading edge. The support structure trailing edge is arranged axially forward of the blade trailing edge. In one example, a forward attachment extends from the support structure to the inlet case.
