Abstract

See full text

A gas turbine engine includes a bypass flow passage and a core flow passage. The bypass flow passage defines a bypass ratio in a range of approximately 8.5 to 13.5. A fan is located upstream of the bypass flow passage. The bypass flow passage includes an inlet and an outlet that define a design fan pressure ratio of approximately 1.3 to 1.55. A first, inner shaft and a second, outer shaft are concentric. A first turbine is coupled with the first shaft, and the first shaft is coupled with the fan. The fan includes a hub and a row of fan blades that extend from the hub. The row includes a number of the fan blades, the number (N) being 18, a solidity value (R) at tips of the fan blades that is from 1.0 to 1.1, and a ratio of N/R that is from 16.4 to 18.0.
