Abstract

See full text

A nozzle is provided that is capable providing flowpaths for a combined cycle aircraft propulsion system that in one form includes a gas turbine engine and a ramjet. The gas turbine engine produces an exhaust flow that is offset from an exhaust flow from the ramjet. The two streams can be flowed independent of each other or together depending on the application and relevant portion of a flight envelope. The nozzle includes a movable portion that can selectively open and close an exhaust flowpath for the gas turbine engine. The nozzle includes a surface that provides expansion for both low speed (gas turbine engine) flow and high speed (ramjet) flow.
