Patent 11781491 was granted and assigned to Rolls-Royce on October, 2023 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A gas turbine engine has a compression system blade ratio defined as the ratio of the height of a fan blade to the height of the most downstream compressor blade in the range of from 45 to 95. This results in an optimum balance between installation benefits, operability, maintenance requirements and engine efficiency when the gas turbine engine is installed on an aircraft.
