Cowl structure for a gas turbine engine

摘要

A cowl structure ( 18 ) for a gas turbine engine ( 10 ) comprises an outer skin ( 26 ) defining a first path for a load applied to the engine ( 10 ). The cowl structure ( 18 ) includes an inner skin ( 24 ) defining a second path for the load. The inner and outer skins ( 24, 26 ) are constructed such that a major proportion of the load is transmitted along the first path.
