A rear fan case (22) for a gas turbine engine includes a main body (32) and a discrete joining arrangement (38) mounted on the outside of the main body towards its rear end. The joining arrangement (38) provides a substantially radial groove (42) around the main body (32), which can receive a joining blade on a thrust reverser unit (24) to form a joint between the rear fan case and the thrust reverser unit. The joining arrangement (38) may be made of metal while the main body is made of composite material. Features may be provided to ensure proper alignment and location of the joining arrangement. |
