Abstract
An intake centre fairing for a gas turbine engine includes a body. The body includes an outer surface, an apex point and a base. The apex point is at a first end of the body and the base is at a second end of the body. The base includes a base centre. The body defines a longitudinal axis along its length, a radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis and a circumferential direction relative to the longitudinal axis. The outer surface of the body is tapered from the base to the apex point along the longitudinal axis. The apex point is radially offset relative to the base centre along the radial direction. The apex point is further circumferentially offset relative to the base centre along the circumferential direction.
