The present disclosure further relates to propfan engine (100) comprising: one or more rotor stages (110, 120) comprising a plurality of rotors; and an outer wall (130) comprising an outer profile (132), the outer profile defining a cross-section, wherein the cross-section of the outer profile comprises a maximum diameter (134, 136) at a point upstream of a leading edge (112, 122) of the rotors, the diameter reducing between the maximum diameter and the leading edge of the rotors, and wherein the outer profile comprises a point of inflection (135, 137) between the maximum diameter and the leading edge of the rotors.",
