Abstract
A nozzle system includes a static structure including a multiple of convergent flap rails and a synchronization ring including an inner ring radially spaced from an outer ring via a multiple of struts. The multiple of convergent flap rails extend at least partially between the inner ring and the outer ring.
Claims20
A nozzle system comprising:
- a static structure including a multiple of convergent flap rails;
- and
- a synchronization ring adjacent to said static structure, said synchronization ring of a unitary structure including an inner ring radially spaced from an outer ring via a multiple of struts, said multiple of convergent flap rails extend at least partially between said inner ring and said outer ring.
A convergent/divergent nozzle system comprising:
- a static structure including a multiple of convergent flap rails, an aft section of each of said multiple of convergent flap rails curves toward an engine axis;
- a synchronization ring adjacent said static structure, said synchronization ring of a unitary structure including an inner ring radially spaced from an outer ring via a multiple of struts, said multiple of convergent flap rails extend at least partially between said inner ring and said outer ring;
- and
- a multiple of convergent flaps engaged with said synchronization ring and said static structure, each of said multiple of convergent flaps pivotally coupled to said inner ring at an inner hinge interface and at least one of said multiple of convergent flap rails of said static structure.
