Abstract
A propulsion system assembly includes an open propulsor rotor and an open guide vane structure. The open guide vane structure is axially next to the open propulsor rotor. The open guide vane structure includes a plurality of open guide vanes arranged circumferentially about a rotational axis in an array. An airfoil of a first of the open guide vanes includes a base, a tip, a first side surface, a second side surface, a leading edge, a trailing edge and a mean line. The airfoil projects spanwise out from the base to the tip. The airfoil extends laterally between the first side surface and the second side surface. The airfoil extends longitudinally along the mean line between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The first open guide vane is configured to pivot about a pivot axis which is axially offset along the rotational axis from the airfoil at the base.
