ABSTRACT:
A flow diverting mechanism for the twin duct offtakes or coannular offtake for a turbo fan engine powering aircraft with either thrust reversing or short takeoff and vertical landing or both capabilities includes a rotary drum mounted between the turbine and afterburner sections and includes ports complementing the inlets in the offtakes to divert the core stream through the offtakes and passages to proportion the fan discharge air utilized for cooling purposes in the engine to cool the liner and walls of the offtakes and the engine components located downstream of the rotary drum while assuring separation of the core stream flow and fan air flow.
