Closeup to a Rolls-Royce Pearl jet engine attached to a Bombardier Global Express 6500 business jet. Lot's of shiny metal and interesting lines attracted my attention. Nikon Z7II with a Nikkor Z 24-200 @ 200mm, 1/125 sec, f/9, ISO 100.

Chris, what is the object that looks like the end of a flat screwdriver at the top of the cowling? Does it interfere with the blades?

I think it is a device at measures the air velocity entering the engine. A few inches or 6 in front of the fins. It is probably an elbow shaped tube so the air comes in and turns the corner going up to the measuring device.

I believe it is a fire extinguisher nozzle. It is located a few inches in front of the fan disc.
