Fan housing and engine assembly with fan housing

Abstract

A fan housing of a turbofan engine that forms an internal space surface at the inner side, delimiting a flow path through the fan of the turbofan engine radially outside, wherein the fan housing has a beginning of the housing that is arranged upstream. It is provided that a divergent cross-sectional surface extension of the flow path is realized by the internal space surface of the fan housing where it directly adjoins the beginning of the housing, and that the internal space surface of the fan housing is suited for continuously extending an inlet diffuser of an engine inlet, which is arranged upstream of the fan housing, into the area of the fan housing. The invention further relates to an engine assembly with a fan housing and an engine inlet.
