A fan section comprises a fan rotor having a plurality of blades and a spinner positioned forwardly of the fan rotor. The fan rotor is driven through a gear reduction. The spinner includes a spinner body having an outer surface with a forward end and a rearward end. A conical line extends between the forward end to the rear end. A first radius is measured from a centerline of the spinner at substantially 0.25 of a length of the spinner to the conical line. A second radius is also measured at substantially 0.25 of the length and extends outwardly to the outer surface of the spinner. A ratio of the second radius to the first radius is less than or equal to about 2.0. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
