Abstract:
Aircraft (10) of the type comprising: - a fuselage (11); - a main wing (12), a front tab (13) and a horizontal tail plane (15) so as to make three lifting surfaces; - two turboprop units (34) mounted on the main wing (12) on opposite parts with respect to said fuselage (11) equipped with rear exhaust pipes (100); at least the outer section (102) of each exhaust pipe (100) has a curvilinear section with diverging configuration and is equipped with at least one opening (101) for the introduction of external air into said exhaust pipes (100) at said exhaust openings (103); said openings (101) being configured for: - promoting the entry of external air in a direction tangent to the walls of the duct and to the main flow that licks them, so as to reduce the separations of the flow naturally induced by the divergent shape of said outer section (102) of said exhaust pipe (100) and thus reduce the noise produced; and - increasing the efficiency of said exhaust pipe (100) also under subsonic conditions, thus increasing the effective area thereof with an increase of the mass processed by the engine, a reduction of the maximum speeds and the increase of the average speed of the flow.
