Nacelle for an aircraft engine with inlet flow control system and corresponding operating method

摘要

A nacelle structure for a gas turbine engine includes an inlet (24) aft of an exit guide vane (42) for supplying air flow to a forward plenum (30). Air is exhausted from the plenum (30) through opening (32) into an air intake opening (16) and over an inner surface (22) of the nacelle (12) for controlling air flow characteristics within the nacelle (12).
