ABSTRACT:
An engine assembly comprising an engine having an unducted propeller mounted in a pusher configuration. The engine is supported by a mounting strut located upstream of the propeller. The trailing edge portion of the strut discharges air through a rearwardly facing slot to diminish discontinuity of airflow moving from the region of the strut to the propeller, so that load variations on the propeller are diminished, and also improves flow of the intersection of the strut and the fuselage.
