Abstract
A filtration system for a gas turbine engine includes an inlet main body which defines an inner inlet fairing section and a bellmouth inlet faring section transverse thereto. An Engine Air Particle Separator (EAPS) is mounted adjacent to the inlet main body to define a plenum therein. A particulate laden airflow is filtered by the Engine Air Particle Separator (EAPS) to produce a substantially filtered airflow. The substantially filtered airflow is communicated into the plenum, through the bellmouth inlet faring section and into a gas turbine engine.
