A boundary layer ingestion engine includes a gas generator and a turbine fluidly connected to the gas generator. A fan is mechanically linked to the turbine via a shaft such that rotation of the turbine is translated to the fan. A boundary layer ingestion inlet is aligned with an expected boundary layer, such that the boundary layer ingestion inlet is configured to ingest fluid from a boundary layer during operation of the boundary layer ingestion engine.
