A gas turbine engine defining an axial direction and a radial direction, the gas turbine engine comprising:
- a spinner defining a spinner duct and a spinner inlet to the spinner duct;
- a turbomachine comprising a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order, the turbomachine defining an engine inlet to an inlet duct, a fan duct, a fan duct inlet to the fan duct, a core duct, and a core inlet to the core duct;
- a primary fan driven by the turbomachine;
- and
- an inlet frame disposed between the spinner and the primary fan,
- wherein the inlet frame is disposed upstream of the inlet duct and extends to the engine inlet.
