Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021116621A1] The present invention relates to an aero-propulsion system (1) comprising: - a drive shaft (10), - a low-pressure compressor (4), - a fan shaft (13) driving a fan (2), - a reduction mechanism (12) coupling the drive shaft (10) and the fan shaft (13), and - an inlet channel (3) which extends between the fan (2) and the low-pressure compressor (4), the inlet (18) having a predetermined mean radius (R3), a ratio between a mean radius (R3) of the inlet channel (3) and the mean radius (R2) of the low-pressure compressor (4), on the one hand, and the reduction ratio of the reduction mechanism (12), on the other hand, being strictly less than 0.35.
