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. The acoustic spacing parameter, in combination with composite fan blades that include one or both of a fan leading edge to trailing edge compression factor (FLTCF) and a fan leading edge to trailing edge opening ratio (FLTOR), provide improved performance and reduced acoustic noise.
