ABSTRACT:
An aircraft axisymmetric exhaust nozzle (36) is provided for reducing noise in an intermediate bypass ratio turbofan engine. The nozzle (36) includes a plurality of chute ejectors (38) placed equal distances about the circumference of a nozzle outer structure (46). A translatable centerbody (52) is located within the outer structure (46). The annular space between the outer structure (46) and the centerbody (52) defines a convergent-divergent exhaust duct (56). Each chute ejector (38) includes an inlet ramp (70) rotatably connected to the outer structure (46) along a ramp forward end (78). Each inlet ramp (70) moves between opposed stationary side panels (39) that extend inwardly from the outer structure interior surfaces (50). The side panels (39) are located in longitudinal planes and are triangular in shape. Nozzle aft flaps (114) are used to form the rearmost portions of the nozzle (36). During noise suppression, the inlet ramp (70) is rotated inwardly to allow ambient air (40) to enter the exhaust duct (56) at aspiration ratios of less than 40% of the engine exhaust. When noise suppression is not needed, the inlet ramp (70) is rotated outwardly to a position that is flush and pressure sealed with the outer structure exterior surface (48).
