Abstract
An inertial particle separator (IPS) for a gas turbine engine, has: a plenum circumferentially extending about a central axis and defined between an outer wall and an inner wall, the plenum having an inlet facing a circumferential direction relative to the central axis, a radius of the outer wall decreasing in an axial direction relative to the central axis between the inlet and an annular splitter extending circumferentially around the central axis and located downstream of the inlet radially between the outer wall and the inner wall, a particle outlet including an annulus radially between the outer wall and the splitter, an air outlet fluidly connectable to a compressor of the gas turbine engine and defined radially between the splitter and the inner wall.
