Abstract
A nosecone for a gas turbine engine includes a nosecone body substantially symmetrical around a central axis. The nosecone body includes a side wall which defines a diameter of the nosecone body that increases from a forward side to an aft side of the nosecone body. The nosecone further includes an attachment assembly which attaches the nosecone body to the gas turbine engine. The nosecone includes a plurality of airstream protrusions attached to or integral with the nosecone body. A first airstream protrusion of the plurality of airstream protrusions is positioned upstream of a first fan blade to prepare an airstream flowing over the nosecone body for interaction with the first fan blade. The attachment assembly includes a plurality of attachment locations, and a first attachment location of the plurality of attachment locations is collocated with the first airstream protrusion of the plurality of airstream protrusions.
