  • Actuated outlet door for aircraft high-temperature exhaust
    Patent number: 10549863
    Abstract: An outlet door is provided for covering an outlet defining an outlet area in a skin (24) of an aircraft component to exhaust a flow of heated air to an outside of the aircraft. The outlet door includes a body defining a door area and extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge and a linkage (38) connecting the body to the aircraft, permitting the body to transition between at least one of an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, the body at least partially occupies the outlet area. In the open position, the body forms an angle with the skin of the aircraft. The leading edge of the body and the skin of the aircraft define a separation (202) therebetween when the body is in the open position. The separation defines and air flow for mixing cold air with the flow of heated air.
