An exhaust duct for a gas turbine engine has an annular inlet conduit having an inlet axis. At least two outlet conduits branch off from the inlet conduit along respective outlet centerlines that are distinct from one another. The outlet centerlines when projected onto a projection plane perpendicular to the inlet axis are spaced apart from the inlet axis so as not to intersect the inlet axis.

A thrust enhancing device is disclosed. The thrust enhancing device enhances thrust of a thrust generation part in a state coupled to the thrust generation part configured to obtain a propulsive force by using a reaction force of a fluid. The thrust enhancing device includes a venturi part configured to receive a basic fluid allowed to flow by the thrust generation part and allow the basic fluid to pass through the inside thereof, and an ejection induction part disposed in an inner flow field of the venturi part and configured to linearize a flow of a fluid to be ejected to the outside of the venturi part.

An assembly is provided for an aircraft. This aircraft assembly include an airframe with a horizontal axis. The aircraft assembly also includes a powerplant arranged with the airframe. The powerplant includes a gas turbine engine, an exhaust nozzle and a flowpath fluidly coupling the gas turbine engine to the exhaust nozzle. The exhaust nozzle includes a support structure and a plurality of nozzle flaps disposed on opposing sides of the flowpath. Each of the nozzle flaps is pivotally connected to the support structure. The exhaust nozzle is configured to exhaust combustion products received from the gas turbine engine along a first trajectory when the nozzle flaps are pivoted into a first arrangement. The first trajectory is angularly offset from the horizontal axis in a vertical upward direction.

A fan duct nozzle of an aviation turbofan engine. A notch is formed in a rear edge of an engine nacelle on an outer side of an engine pylon, and a flow guide curved surface matching the notch in shape is arranged on a profile of the fan duct nozzle. The notch is unilaterally formed in the outer side of the engine pylon, and a transition section between the notch and the rear edge of the engine nacelle includes two transition rounded corners. The present disclosure adopts a unilateral notch-shaped nozzle in the external duct of the turbofan engine, uses high-speed flowing of venting by an engine fan to provide flowing protection for an airfoil, improves a lift coefficient, and reduces negative impact on the airfoil exerted by the engine nacelle at a high incidence, thus lowering resistance, lowering a weight of the nacelle, and improving a lift-drag ratio.
