INNER BYPASS DUCT WALL ATTACHMENT

摘要

A bypass duct of a gas turbine engine has an inner bypass duct wall has a front end portion which is rigidly mounted to an engine core case and a rear end portion which is flexibly mounted to the core case. The flexible mounting between the rear portion of the inner bypass duct wall and the core case allows hot engine areas of the core case to thermally grow and contract relative to the inner bypass duct wall without imposing additional loads on the inner bypass duct wall.
