Mode strut and divergent flap interface

摘要

A gas turbine engine exhaust nozzle includes a flap supported relative to a static structure by a strut (42). The flap includes a backbone (38) providing a slot (56). A slider (66) interconnects a strut end (58) to the backbone. In one example, the slider includes a body (69) that is slidingly received within the slot (56). A boss extends from the body and provides a first feature. The strut end includes a second feature that cooperates with the first feature to prevent relative rotation between the slider and a portion of the strut end. In one example the strut end includes a spherical bearing (62) and the base of the slider is non-rotatably received in an opening in the bearing.
