    Abstract: An aircraft defining a longitudinal centerline and extending between a forward end and an aft end is provided. The aircraft comprises a fuselage extending between the forward end of the aircraft and the aft end of the aircraft; a wing assembly extending laterally outwardly with respect to the longitudinal centerline from a portion of the fuselage; an unducted turbofan engine including an unducted fan that defines a plurality of fan wakes; and a pylon fairing that connects the unducted turbofan engine to the wing assembly, the pylon fairing defining a pylon fairing dihedral, wherein the pylon fairing dihedral is in a direction opposite the incoming fan flow swirl and associated sheared profiles of fan wakes upon arrival at the pylon leading edge.

    Abstract: An aircraft engine assembly includes a gas turbine engine having an intake channel configured to receive an incoming flow of air and thereby form an intake flow of air, the intake channel configured to turn the received incoming flow of air from an incoming flow direction to a first axial direction of the gas turbine engine, the incoming flow direction reverse of the first axial direction, and an electric machine coupled with the low pressure shaft and located at the aft end of the gas turbine engine proximate the intake channel, the electric machine in heat exchange communication with the intake flow of air such that the electric machine transfers heat to the incoming flow of air within the intake channel when the electric machine is operated.
