Abstract
A gas turbine engine is provided that includes fan, compressor, combustion, and turbine sections, and an entrained debris removal system. The compressor section includes a compressor inlet disposed downstream of the fan section. A core gas path begins at the compressor inlet and extends through the compressor section. The bypass air path is disposed downstream of the fan section. The structural member extends radially across the bypass air path. The entrained debris removal system includes an inlet port engaged with the core gas path, a passage that extends through the structural member, and an exit port that is disposed in contact with ambient air. The entrained debris removal system is configured to selectively receive core gas from the core gas path and pass the core gas through the passage that extends through the structural member and out of the exit port.
