The intake cone for a gas-turbine engine is wound in one piece from fiber compound material with fiber layers crossing one another. It is provided with a fiber compound belt, wound in the circumferential direction of the intake cone, in the connecting area with a mounting flange, which is of segmented design and thus features reduced circumferential stiffness, of a metallic retaining ring attached to a fan rotor disk. The intake cone is easily manufacturable with almost constant wall thickness and in high quality, can reliably be subjected to non-destructive testing and, in combination with the mounting flange, which is flexible in the radial direction, ensures safe connection of the two components despite the different thermal and elastic behavior of the respective materials.
