Abstract

There is disclosed an inertial particle separator communicating with an engine inlet. The inertial particle separator has: a main duct body; a bypass duct; and a splitter defined by an intersection of the main duct and the bypass duct. The main duct and the bypass duct having particular geometric characteristics. A method of separating particles via inertia in an aircraft engine inlet is also provided.
