Abstract
A gas turbine engine system includes an airframe support, a gas turbine engine mounted to the airframe support, a nozzle exhaust mounted to the airframe support, and a flexible annular seal having a first end that is attached to the gas turbine engine and a second end that is attached to an exhaust nozzle. The flexible annular seal may include a flexible annular wall that permits relative deflection between the gas turbine engine and the exhaust nozzle to facilitate the reduction of undesirable load transfer.
