ABSTRACT:
In a propfan engine, the need for an annular or chin-type intake when the propfan is mounted in front of the engine is avoided by mounting the propfan downstream of the engine. The engine exhaust is ducted to atmosphere through inner chutes which alternate with outer chutes through which ambient air flows. The alternate streams of exhaust gas and ambient air then flow through axial ducts which are located between adjacent blade mountings in the rotating hub of the propfan.
