Abstract

A gas turbine engineis provided in a fan root to tip pressure ratio, defined as the ratio of the mean total pressure of the flow at the fan exit that subsequently flows through the engine core (P) to the mean total pressure of the flow at the fan exit that subsequently flows through the bypass duct (P), is no greater than a certain value. The gas turbine enginemay provide improved efficiency when compared with conventional engines, whilst retaining an acceptable flutter margin.
