Abstract

See full text

A gas turbine engine fan section includes a fan hub configured to rotate about an axis. A nose cone includes a spinner operatively mounted to the fan hub. The spinner supports a first fastening element and the nose cone includes an annular cover arranged over the fastening element. The spinner and annular cover provide an aerodynamic exterior surface of the nose cone without exposed fasteners. A second fastening element cooperates with the first fastening element to secure the spinner relative to the fan hub. The first and second fastening elements are oriented transversely to the axis.
