AIR INTAKE FUNCTIONS
The main function of the inlet cowl is to guide the airflow into the engine
inlet and to permit an aerodynamic airflow over the outer surface of the
engine.
If engine anti icing on the cockpit overhead panel is selected to ON, then
hot bleed air from the engine is ducted to the cowl nose lip to prevent ice
build-up. The air then exhausts overboard through a flush exit duct in the
outer barrel.
Longitudinal and transverse loads are distributed into the fan case forward
flange through a bolted joint. These loads are due to:
- the air intake structure own inertia as well as,
- any internal or external loads not taken in hoop.
It incorporates a lightning protection system.
