Abstract
An aircraft propulsion system includes a propulsion section and a turbine engine. The propulsion section includes an open propulsor rotor and an open guide vane structure disposed next to the open propulsor rotor. The turbine engine is configured to drive rotation of the open propulsor rotor. The turbine engine includes an engine core, an inlet section, an exhaust section and a flowpath. The engine core includes a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. The inlet section includes a flowpath inlet. The exhaust section includes a flowpath exhaust and a mixer at the flowpath exhaust. The flowpath extends from the flowpath inlet, through the inlet section, the compressor section, the combustor section, the turbine section and the exhaust section, to the flowpath exhaust. The mixer is configured to mix combustion products exhausted from the flowpath through the flowpath exhaust with ambient air outside of the propulsion system.
