ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine air intake comprises an enlarged center body positioned upstream of the engine air inlet. The center body is provided with a drain so that in operation water particles impacting and flowing across the surface of the center body are directed into the interior of the center body. From there the water is drained into a by-pass duct which exhausts the water into the exhaust efflux of the engine to which the intake is attached.
