    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This apparatus includes an exhaust nozzle. The exhaust nozzle includes a flowpath, a passage, an outer door, an inner door and an actuator configured to move the outer door and the inner door between an open arrangement and a closed arrangement. The flowpath extends axially along a centerline through the exhaust nozzle. The passage extends laterally into the exhaust nozzle to the flowpath when the outer door and the inner door are in the open arrangement. The outer door is configured to pivot inwards towards the centerline when the outer door moves from the closed arrangement to the open arrangement. The inner door is configured to pivot outwards away from the centerline when the inner door moves from the closed arrangement to the open arrangement.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a concentric gas flow mixer in a multiple-flow turbomachine, comprising a nominally cylindrical upstream part and a downstream part having outer and inner lobes distributed peripherally around the tower of said mixer, characterised in that it comprises at least one modified lobe having a wall thickness, in at least one area, which is different from the other lobes, so as to modify the vibratory response of said mixer.

    Abstract: A exhaust nozzle assembly comprises a nozzle that extends about an axial centerline and includes an exhaust nozzle flange; an radially inner surface that comprises an axially forward inner surface; a noise attenuating structure; a through hole inlet formed in the axially forward inner surface; a through hole outlet formed in the axially rear inner surface. The nozzle assembly also includes a radially outer surface that is radially separated from the radially inner surface by a nozzle cavity, where engine core air enters the nozzle cavity from the through hole inlet and exits the nozzle cavity axially downstream of the hole inlet via the through hole outlet.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for an exhaust system for a gas turbine engine are provided. The method includes: receiving a primary exhaust fluid in a primary manifold; receiving a secondary cooling fluid in a secondary plenum; directing the primary exhaust fluid through a plurality of eductor primary flow paths associated with a respective plurality of ducts spaced circumferentially about a primary manifold, the plurality of eductor primary flow paths extending through the secondary plenum; and mixing the primary exhaust fluid and the secondary cooling fluid in a mixing chamber associated with a respective one of the plurality of ducts to create a mixed fluid flow.

    Abstract: The invention proposes an assembly for a rear of a dual-flow turbomachine (10) having a longitudinal axis (X), comprising: a secondary nozzle (110) defined about the longitudinal axis (X), said secondary nozzle being configured to eject a mixture of the flows coming from a secondary vein (Vs) and a primary vein (Vp) of the turbomachine (10), the secondary nozzle being of convergent-divergent form with a neck (112) corresponding to a minimal cross-cross-section of the secondary nozzle (110), a heating system located on at least one portion of the internal circumference of the secondary nozzle longitudinally in the region of the neck and/or upstream from the neck (112).
