Engine diagnostic studies revealed that the primary causes of deterioation in the performance of high bypass turbofan engines are flight loads, erosion, and thermal distortion. This paper examines airplane loads that are imposed on the engine and the response of the engine to these loads. The effects of nacelle angle of attack, airplane speed, and engine airflow are discussed. It was concluded that aerodynamic loads and differential thermal expansion are the main contributors to performance loss due to loads. Integrated engine and nacelle designs are recommended.
