Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A casing for an aircraft turbofan bypass engine includes an outer ring, an inner hub and a plurality of struts radially extending therebetween. An annular portion of an engine core casing having an outer wall and an inner wall, is disposed between the outer ring and inner hub, forming an annular splitter supporting an upstream splitter tip structure. The annular splitter further includes an intermediate wall disposed in the annular splitter fixed to the outer wall and the struts, to distribute loads from the annular splitter box to the struts.
