ABSTRACT:
In one example, a gas turbine engine includes an exhaust nozzle. The exhaust nozzle includes a flap supported relative to a static structure by a strut. The flap includes a backbone providing a slot. A slider interconnects a strut end to the backbone. In one example, the slider includes a body that is slidingly received within the slot. A boss extends from the body and provides a first feature. The strut end includes a second feature that cooperates with the first feature to prevent relative rotation between the slider and a portion of the strut end.
