Abstract: A replacement transition duct assembly for a jet engine comprised of a plurality of complementary louvered sections having joining ends that are assembled together about the engine by means of a novel bracket. The bracket is formed with a spaced array of louvered segments adapted to interfit with and receive the joining ends of the replacement duct sections, and includes an offset element to which the joining ends are secured. When the joining ends are secured to the bracket, the bracket provides an effective seal between the replacement duct sections, presents a minimum impediment to the flow of exhaust gases, and completes the integral formation of the replacement transition duct assembly.
