Abstract
A divergent flap seal for a gas turbine engine exhaust nozzle having a longitudinal axis is provided, having a body, a spine member, and a flap position guide. The flap position guide separates adjacent divergent flaps regardless of the angle the flaps are skewed relative to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle, thereby more evenly distributing the flaps about the circumference of the nozzle.
