Abstract
An internal flow mixer is attached to the rearward end of a turbofan engine for inverting the engine fan and core streams. Rearwardly of the internal flow mixer is a multi-lobed exhaust nozzle which mixes ambient air with the gases flowing from the flow mixer. An ejector housing lined with acoustic absorption material receives the flow from the exhaust nozzle and discharges the thrust producing gases in noise abatement condition.
