Just curious to know how the arrangement of the exhaust pipe is in relation to the turbine. Is the pipe actually attached to the turbine or does it sit back a bit from the exhaust.
This is assuming the turbine is inside a fuselage.
Thanks in advance for the input everyone!
Myles

The pipe sits back a bit to allow bypass air to be sucked in the front of the thrust tube. An article in RCJI, about half a year ago, showed that, in the particular installation studied, the nominal longitudinal gap between thrust tube front and turbine rear was, I believe, .25".

Hi Myles, Mark

Mark is correct. It's about a quarter inch. Myles. e-mail me your snail mail address and I'll send you a copy of the article.
