Abstract of the Disclosure A sound-attenuating inlet duct is provided for a gas turbine engine wherein the inlet duct includes a casing defining, in serial flow relationship, a minimum area throat of predetermined axial extent, a diffuser and a cylindrical section. Sound-absorbent acoustic material is disposed upon the inner walls of the duct in the cylindrical section. A first amount of acoustic attenuation is provided by accelerating the motive fluid to high subsonic velocities through the throat. A second amount of acoustic attenuation is provided by locally accelerating the motive fluid in the vicinity of the acoustic material, thereby imparting a velocity component to the acoustic waves which is normal to the acoustic material, thereby enhancing absorption. By sizing the various sections of the inlet duct in a unique predetermined relationship the effects of the two sources of acoustic attenuation may be made additive.
