Abstract
An unducted thrust producing system has a rotating element with an axis of rotation and a stationary element. The rotating element includes a plurality of blades, and the stationary element has a plurality of vanes configured to impart a change in tangential velocity of the working fluid opposite to that imparted by the rotating element acted upon by the rotating element. The system includes an inlet forward of the rotating element and the stationary element.
