Abstract
A gas turbine engine propulsion system and method of assembling such is disclosed. The gas turbine engine propulsion system comprises a gas turbine engine that includes a fan flow path. The fan flow path may extend from the fan inlet to the rear exhaust outlet of the bypass flow path. A portion of the fan flow path, proximal to the fan, is non-axisymmetric. The non-axisymmetric portion may be upstream or downstream of the fan.
