Abstract
A gas turbine engine is provided defining an axial direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction. The gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine having a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow order; a fan section including a fan rotatable by the turbomachine; a nacelle enclosing the fan; and an oil tank positioned within the nacelle, wherein the oil tank defines an effective length (L) along the axial direction, a circumference span (CS) along the circumferential direction, and a radial height (Δr) along the radial direction, and wherein these parameters are related by a tank sizing factor (TSF) equal to the effective length (L) times the circumference span (CS) divided by the radial height (Δr) squared L×CS/Δr), wherein the tank sizing factor (TSF) is between 20 and 2200.
