Abstract

Gas turbine engine power plants sometimes are provided with thrust reversing equipment, the outlet of which is close to the power plant air intake. Such arrangements create re-ingestion problems. There is described herein an apparatus which either maintains the upstream portion of reversed flow in a given position with respect to the plane of the air intake or alternatively destroys the reversed flow entirely.
