Abstract
An assembly for a turbine engine including a nosecone that extends along an axis between a tip end and a second end. The nosecone includes a base region and a deformation region configured integral with the base region. The base region is arranged axially between the deformation region and the second end. The deformation region is adapted to deform relative to the base region upon impact of an object, and includes a stress concentrator.
