  • Turbo fan engine mixer
    Patent number: 4292803
    Abstract: A turbo fan engine has a fan gas duct surrounding the exhaust or primary gas stream. The primary gas stream leaves the engine through a plurality of nozzles terminating within the fan gas stream. The nozzles are positioned so that mixing of the two gas streams is accomplished and, when utilized with a pair of clam shells for thrust reversing, cool air from the fan stream cools the inner surface of the clam shells and insulates the inner surface from the hot primary gas stream. The mixing of the streams is accomplished substantially within the fan gas duct.
