Abstract
An airflow disruptor for a gas turbine engine bleed air exhaust port employs a disruptor plate rotatably mounted upstream from an exhaust port of an exhaust duct. An actuator is coupled to the disruptor plate and adapted to rotate the disruptor plate into an external airflow responsive to temperature of exhaust flow in the exhaust port whereby the external airflow is turbulated upstream of the exhaust port.
