Abstract
An aircraft system includes a propulsion system mounted to an airframe. The propulsion system includes a fan rotor, an engine core, an outer housing structure, an inner housing structure, a bypass flowpath and a core flowpath. The engine core is configured to drive rotation of the fan rotor about an axis. The engine core includes a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. The outer housing structure houses the fan rotor and forms an outer peripheral boundary of the bypass flowpath. The inner housing structure forms an inner peripheral boundary of the bypass flowpath. The core flowpath includes a core inlet and a core exhaust. The core flowpath extends longitudinally through the compressor section, the combustor section and the turbine section from the core inlet to the core exhaust. The core inlet is located axially forward of the fan rotor and radially between the axis and the airframe.
