Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine defining an engine inlet to an inlet duct, a fan duct inlet to a fan duct, and a core inlet to a core duct; a primary fan driven by the turbomachine; and a secondary fan located downstream of the primary fan within the inlet duct. The gas turbine engine defines a thrust to power airflow ratio between 3.5 and 100 and a core bypass ratio between 0.1 and 10, wherein the thrust to power airflow ratio is a ratio of an airflow through a bypass passage over the turbomachine plus an airflow through the fan duct to an airflow through the core duct, and wherein the core bypass ratio is a ratio of the airflow through the fan duct to the airflow through the core duct.

Abstract: A turbomachine includes an annular casing and a fan disposed inside the annular casing and mounted for rotation about an axial centerline. The fan includes fan blades that extend radially outwardly toward the annular casing. The fan blades include a composite blade including a composite airfoil section having an airfoil leading edge and an airfoil trailing edge, a root attached to the composite airfoil section, and a blade shank therebetween. A metallic leading edge shield covers an axially extending portion of the composite airfoil section including at least a portion of the airfoil leading edge and covers a radially and chordwise extending portion of the airfoil leading edge of the blade shank. The fan has an average chord fan width according to a first performance factor. The fan has a quantity of fan blades according to a second performance factor.
