Chevron-type primary exhaust nozzle for aircraft turbofan engine, and aircraft comprising such a nozzle
View Patent ↗A primary exhaust nozzle for a turbofan engine of the double, separated air-flow type for aircraft comprises: an inner coat, within which there circulates a primary air flow (FP), comprising chevrons at an external end and an outer coat at least partially surrounding the inner coat and along which there flows a secondary air flow (FS), the outer coat being mobile along the inner coat. Also disclosed is an aircraft comprising such an exhaust nozzle.
1. A primary exhaust nozzle for a turbofan engine of the double, separated air-flow type for aircraft comprising:
an inner coat, wherein a primary air flow circulates within an inner cavity defined by the inner coat, the inner coat comprising chevrons at an external end;
an outer coat at least partially surrounding the inner coat, wherein a secondary air flow flows along the outer coat; and
a sliding device positioned between the inner coat and the outer coat, the sliding device having guide rollers,
wherein the outer coat is shiftable along the inner coat.
2. The exhaust nozzle for turbofan engine according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding device is driven by at least one actuator.
3. The exhaust nozzle for turbofan engine according to claim 2 , wherein the actuator is controlled by air flow.
4. The exhaust nozzle for turbofan engine according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding device has guide rails.
5. The exhaust nozzle for turbofan engine according to claim 1 , wherein the chevrons of the inner coat define a zigzag shape.
6. The exhaust nozzle for turbofan engine according to claim 5 , wherein the zigzag shape comprises a succession of V's.
7. The exhaust nozzle for turbofan engine according to claim 5 , wherein the zigzag shape comprises a succession of U's.
8. An aircraft comprising a turbofan engine with double separated air-flow, wherein said turbofan engine has an exhaust nozzle according to claim 1 .
