ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to fluid outlet ducts particularly cooling air outlet ducts of a gas turbine engine. A fluid outlet duct for a gas turbine engine is divided across its width into a plurality of second plenum chambers, each of the second plenum chambers has an associated exit nozzle located in the casing of the gas turbine engine for discharging cooling air. The cooling air from a heat exchanger is supplied through a first plenum chamber to each of the second plenum chambers. Each of the second plenum chambers has a valve to vary the flow of cooling into the second plenum chambers so that the total flow area of the fluid outlet duct may be varied to obtain relatively high exit velocities for the cooling air to give good thrust recovery.
