Abstract:
A turbine exhaust assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a turbine exhaust case comprised of CMC material and attachable to a turbine case, a tail cone comprised of CMC material that has a leading edge and a trailing edge, and an exhaust mixer comprised of CMC material and coupled to the turbine exhaust case. The exhaust mixer has a plurality of lobes arranged about the tail cone to define an exhaust flow path. A plurality of struts extend from the tail cone to support the exhaust mixer at a location aft of the leading edge of the tail cone. A method of assembling a propulsion system is also disclosed.
