  • Infrared suppression system for a gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 4002024
    Abstract: An infrared suppression system is provided for an aircraft gas turbine engine for reducing the level of emitted infrared radiation from the engine exhaust. The hot exhaust stream emitted from the engine is mixed with the cooling airflows received from a plurality of sources in order to more effectively reduce the level of emitted infrared radiation. In addition, the infrared suppression system prohibits a direct line of sight back into the core engine.
