ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary inlet (60) for a jet engine has a first rod block (62) attached to a first side (64) of a hole (66) in a skin (68) of an inlet of the jet engine. A second rod block (80) is attached to an opposing side (82) of the hole (66) in the skin (68) of the inlet of the jet engine. A first reinforced elastomer section (70) is attached to the first rod block (62). A center beam (74) has a first side attached to the first reinforced elastomer section (70). A second reinforced elastomer section (78) is attached to the second rod block (80) and attached to the center beam (74). An actuation system (88, 90) is connected to an intake end of the center beam (74). The actuation system (88, 90) moves the center beam (74) from a first in-moldline position to a second out-of-moldline position.
