ABSTRACT:
A scarf nozzle for a jet engine supported within a nacelle. The scarf nozzle is at an aft end of the nacelle. The scarf nozzle includes a first trailing edge portion and a second trailing edge portion. The second trailing edge portion is disposed aft of the first trailing edge portion. The scarf nozzle is configured to allow the nacelle to be integrated closer to a wing without adversely affecting the pressure gradient between the nacelle and the wing. The scarf nozzle allows a portion of an exhaust plume exiting the aft end of the nacelle to interact more favorably with an airflow along one or more surfaces adjacent the nacelle, thus delaying the onset of adverse pressure gradients and the formation of shock waves between the nacelle and the adjacent surfaces and between the adjacent surfaces and the exhaust plume.
