Abstract:
A ducted fan for an aircraft includes a rotor-side fan and a stator-side duct that surrounds the rotor-side fan. The stator-side duct includes an inner wall facing the rotor-side fan and an outer wall averted from the fan. The ducted fan further includes a fastening device configured to support mounting of the ducted fan on a structural component of the aircraft. The fastening device includes a pin and a guide body. The guide body is configured to receive and guide the pin, the pin is insertable proceeding from the inner wall into a recess of the guide body, a first end of the pin protrudes relative to the outer wall, and the pin is configured to be mounted, via the first end, on a bearing of the structural component of the aircraft.
