Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tip turbine engine assembly ( 8 ) includes a fan ( 32 ) rotatable in a fan plane ( 22 ) about an engine centerline ( 112 ). The fan ( 32 ) includes a fan blade ( 34 ) that defines a core airflow passage therethrough. An engine case ( 10 ) surrounds and supports the fan and engine. A plurality of engine mounts ( 20 ) for mounting the engine to an aircraft are positioned circumferentially about the outside of the engine case in a single mounting plane ( 22 ) that is perpendicular to the engine centerline.
First claim
