Abstract

A gas turbine engine comprises a fan, a core turbine engine coupled to the fan, a fan case housing the fan and the core turbine engine, a plurality of outlet guide vanes extending between the core turbine engine and the fan case, and an acoustic spacing. Relationships between acoustic spacing and a high-speed shaft rating allow for a gas turbine engine that reduces noise emissions while maintaining high performance.
