A gas turbine engine includes an engine core, a propulsion unit, and a particle separator. The engine core is configured to combust fuel and air to drive rotation of the propulsion unit. The propulsion unit is driven to rotate by the engine core to provide thrust for the gas turbine engine. The particle separator is configured to separate unwanted particles from air being directed toward the engine core.
