Abstract:
An aerodynamic fan nosecone for a gas turbine engine is provided and includes a fan nosecone that may be made of composite material. To improve airflow transition to the blade members, aerodynamic fairings are provided and are secured to an exterior surface of the nosecone which enhances fuel economy. The fairings may be secured to the nosecone by various methods, including providing for the fairings to be changed out and replaced with other fairings on the same nosecone assembly.
