Abstract
A gas turbine engine comprising a fan and an intake liner 30, the liner 30 comprising at least two acoustic absorption segments 32 forming a duct and an axially extending splice 40 at each axially extending interface 38 between segments 32, the splice 40 being located between the segments 32. At least one of the splices 40 comprises a first portion 42 and a second portion 44, the splice 40 having a greater segment 32 separating width in the second portion 44 than in the first portion 42 so that adjacent the first portion 42 the segments 32 are closer together than adjacent the second portion 44. The first portion 42 is nearer to the fan than the second portion 44.
