The fan case has a shell 66 outwardly of the rotor assembly for blocking the rotor blade 38 during a blade failure from penetrating the portion of the shell immediately outwardly of the rotor blade. The material of the shell increases in thickness in the axially rearward direction and has a maximum thickness rearward of a reference plane passing through the mid-chord point of the rotor blade.
