Abstract
An aircraft including a turbofan engine provided with an engine body and a fan located anterior to the engine body, further includes: an engine oil cooler that is a heat exchanger for cooling engine oil used in the engine body by using, as a heat source, a fan stream flowing from the fan into a gap between a core cowl surrounding the engine body and a nacelle surrounding the fan and the core cowl; and a pre-cooler that is a heat exchanger for cooling bleed air from the engine body by using the fan stream as a heat source, wherein the engine oil cooler and the pre-cooler are longitudinally arranged in one position in a circumferential direction of the nacelle, and the engine oil cooler is located anterior to the pre-cooler.
