ABSTRACT:
A noise reduction system is provided for installation on a bypass turbine having a core engine, an outer casing and a thrust reverser. The system is comprised of an acoustically treated nose cowl conventional for the engine; a respaced inlet guide vane upstream of the core engine for reducing wake disturbances striking the engine fan; a flow diverter downstream of the core engine for turning fan air inward toward the engine center line and for turning core air outward; a structure for supporting and positioning said flow diverter relative to the engine; a core flow expansion chamber device for slowing the peak velocity of the exhaust gas prior to exhausting it to the atmosphere; and an acoustic tailpipe assembly configured to define an outlet area sized and shaped to compensate for the mass flow loss created by the core flow expansion chamber device.
