Abstract
A method for suppressing infrared radiation from an aircraft engine includes directing hot exhaust from the aircraft engine into a lobed mixer of a single baffle infrared suppressor having a single baffle assembly to generate alternating flows of hot exhaust gas and cold air. The method further includes directing the alternating flows of hot exhaust gas and cold air towards the single baffle assembly to mix the hot exhaust gas with the cold air.
