Patent Trade Mark Attornerys Level 10, 10 Barrack Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 Address for Service: Complete specification for the invention entitled "Axisymmetric vectoring exhaust nozzle seal".
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me:- 1 1010F/gs j i 0916A

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Variable area axisynmnetric nozzles are well known in the field and employed in such engines as the General Electric 10 F110 engine. The exhaust nozzles of such engines use 0040 0 5 05 i 4 0.~ 0 0 51.

The manner and means to prvide such nozzle are shown in many publications including U.S. patents 4,176,792, 4,245,787 and 4,128,208 entitled "Variable Area Exhaust Nozzle", Arthur McCardle, Jr., "Variable Area Nozzle System", Wilbert B. Freid, "Exhaust Nozzle Flap Seal Arrangement", Edward W. Ryan, et at, assigned to the same assignee and incorporated herein by reference. A new function, namely thrust vectoring, has been added to this type of nozzle as represented by an invention developed at the General Electric Company.
For an understanding of how the individual flaps and seals interrelate and operate to form the overall bozzle and thrust vectoring function, reference may be made to Australian patent application No. 46071/89 entitled S. "Axisymmetric Vectoring Exhaust Nozzle" Interflap sealing for axisymmetric convergent divergent nozzles has always posed an interesting problem and challenge to gas turbine o* engine nozzle designers as evidenced by the many designs, o. arrangements and patents, some of which are cited herein.

Conventional nozzles including ones with varibale throat and exit areas employ nozzle flaps and nozzle flap i S seals that pivot through the same angles or change their *r attitude with respect to an engine centerline generally simultaneously so there is no circumferential variation in their respective attitude or pivot angle with respect to an engine or nozzle centerline. The axisymmetric vectoring nozzle adds a new dimension to an already difficult problem namely how to seal between two surfaces whose oriengation or attitude is constantly changed. The present invention addresses the sealing problems of an interflap seal which provides sealing between two adjacent divergent flaps that are pivoted through different angles from one and other and with respect to an engine centerline. Each flap can be

'3 v ii 0554k/MS 3pivoted in a coning motion relative to the convergent flap or other other nozzle element to which it is attached.
Another way of describing the problem is that there is a circumferential variation in nozzle flap attitudes with respect to an engine or nozzle centerline.
As with all nozzle and gas turbine engine system designs it is desirable that they be light weight, easy and relatively inexpensive to manufacture, maintain and repair and be highly durable in a high temperature and stress environment.
Accordingly, a primary object of embodiments of the present invention is to provide sealing between nozzle flaps of a gas turbine engine axisymmetric vectoring exhaust nozzle.
i Another object of embodiments of the present invention is to provide sealing between the divergent flaps of a gas turbine engine axisymmetric vectoring variable exhaust nozzle.
Another object of embodiments of this invention is to provide sealing between divergent flaps of a gas turbine engine axisymmetric vectoring variable exhaust nozz]i wherein adjacent flaps are rotated through different angles or attitudes with respect to the nozzle centerline during vectoring operations.
SYet another object of embodiments of this invention is to provide sealing between the divergent flaps which maintains axial and circumferential sealing integrity i throughout the range of circumferential variation in nozzle flap attitudes with respect to the nozzle centerline.
*i A further object of embodiments of the present invention is to provide sealing means between the divergent flaps of an axisymmetric vectoring variable exhaust nozzle which is light in weight and easy to manufacture and repair.
Yet another object of embodiments of the present invention is to provide seal segments for an interflap seal for use in an axisymmetric vectoring variable exhaust nozzle nr 0554k/lfg -4that facilitate the repair and maintenance of the seal and nozzle.
These objects and other features and advantages become more readily apparent upon reference to the following description when taken in conjunction with the appended drawings.
SU1414ARY OF THE INVENTION In one broad form the invention provides an aircraft gas turbine gas engine nozzle interflap sela segment for mounting on a longitudinally extending support means which supports a plurality of such segments, said segment comprising: a longiduinally extending sealing section having inner and outer facing surfaces wherein said outer facing surface is designed to face the nozzle exhaust gas flow, :.o°.said sealing section cantilevered off of a flange in :4 the longitudinal direction so as to place longitudinally r adjacent ones of said seal segments in overlapping sealing engagement during engine operation, and a mounting means to attach said flange to the longitudinally extending support means.
In another form the invention provides an aircraft gas turbine engine nozzle divergent seal comprising: a backbone, a plurality of seal segments serially mounted on said backbone, each of said segments comprising a longitudinally extending sealing section having inner and outer facing surfaces wherein said outer facing surface is designed to 21 face the nozzle exhaust gas flow, a flange attached to said sealing section, and a mounting means to attach said flange to said backbone such that said mounting means includes a means to allow said segment to twist about said backbone.
Briefly, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, a divergent seal comprises a backbone which is preferably hollow and has a somewhat elliptical cross r 0554k/lfg 4a section and at its forward end is a means for orbitably connecting the backbone to a convergent seal stationary member of the nozzle. A plurality of seal segments are axially disposed along the backbone and include mounting means to attach the segment to the backbone in such a manner that during nozzle operation adjoining segments are in overlapping sealing engagement. The longitudinally extending sealing sections have inner and outer facing surfaces wherein the inner facing surfaces are designated as facing the nozzle exhaust gas flow and a flange attached to the sealing section includes a mounting means which comprises a cloverleaf hole to mount the seal segment in a way which allows the segment to twist about the axis of the backbone.

0.00 Referring now to Fig 1. an gas turbine engine axisymmetric vectoring nozzle is general shown at comprising a casing 12 and in serial flow relationship a convergent section 18, a throat 24, and a divergent section 26 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the nozzle disclosed in Australian patent application No. 46071/89 entitled "'Axisymmetric Vectoring Exhaust Nozzle". The present invention is generally shown as-divergent seal circumferentially disposed between divergent flaps 28 which are circumferentially disposed about the axisymmetric nozzle centerline 8. Divergent flaps 28 are controlled so as to define the exhaust path of the nozzle flaps 16 provided an aerodynamic fairing around the convergent and divergent sections of nozzle 10. Conventional operation of axisymmetric nozzles involved opening and closing of the exit area of the -7 0916A PATENT 13DV-9 687 -7 6 a 0 0 C t4 0 o 0 0 @04 nozzle A9 or the throat area A8 or both. In either case the nozzle configuration remained axisymmetric and the the attitude of each divergent flap 28 with respect to each other divergent nozzle flap remained generally the same. In the preferred embodiment of the invention a divergent seal 30 is provided to accommodate means are for vectoring the thrust of the engine by pivoting the different divergent flaps 28 to different angles from their axisymmetric positions. The divergent flaps are pivoted in the radial direction R with respect to the axisymmetric nozzle centerline 8 and in the tangential diiection T more clearly shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 Another way of looking at the vectoring operation is that by forming an asymmetric divergent nozzle section 26 circumferentially adjacent divergent flaps are pivoted or rotated to attitudes that are different from the attitudes of the adjacent flaps.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 3, 4 and 9; a divergent seal 30 includes a backbone 50 and a plurality of unique seal segments 56 axially disposed on the backbone. Each seal segment 56 includes a sealing section 58 cantilevered off a flange 60 to which is attached to the backbone 50 in a manner so that 25 during engine operation adjacent seal segments are in overlapping sealing engagement.
Each sealing section 58 of each seal segment 56 is unique along the backbone. The difference is in the curvature or bowing out of the sealing section.
The greatest amount of curvature is at the aft end of the seal as can be clearly seen in FIG. 2. This can further bee seem from the gradual curving of the 0 @4 00 0 0 40 0916A
PATENT
13DV-9687 interface between the flange 60 and the sealing section 58 of each successive seal segment 56 from the forward most to the aft most one. The planform area as seen in FIG. 3 preferably remains the same in each of the segments. This difference is provided to accommodate the larger gaps between adjacent divergent flaps 28 that exist at the aft end of the nozzle as opposed to the forward end of the divergent section of the nozzle. Preferably segment 56 is stamped out of sheet metal where a different die set is required for each segment and allows for accurate contouring of each segment. Preferably there are twelve divergent seals 30 in each nozzle and savings is accomplished by having each set of segments along a given seal be the same from seal to seal circumferentially around the nozzle. The flange attachment means includes a spacer 64 between flanges dr 60 and washers 66 between the flange and spacer.
S, Each end of backbone 50 is fitted with a bolt end cap 20 70 upon which nut 62 is threaded and used to tighten up the assembly. Referring now to FIG. 7 for a moment, a more detailed cross-section of the flange mounted to the backbone 50 is shown. Flange includes a clover shaped aperture 72 therethrough for receiving backbone 50 which is shown as a hollow tube having an elliptical cross section.
Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 seal retaining means I 80 are shown which include a rail arm 86 and rail 88 44 which fit into and ride in tracks attached to adjacent divergent flaps which are not shown Such a track and rail system comprise a seal retaining 6A ea 40 0 0916A PATENT 13DV-9687 9 system used to align the seals and the adjacent flaps in a manner known and shown in the art. Retaining means 80 is mounted to the backbone by a suitable means such as being attached to a spacer 64.
In operation the axisyrtmetric nozzle configuration of FIG. 10 is made asyrmmetric as shown in FIG. 11 by pivoting divergent flaps 28 in the radial and tangential directions as noted by R and T respectively. The example shown in FIG. 11 vectors the exhaust flow in the downwards direction to produce a thrust vectored in the pitch plane. Though the flaps are shown pivoted generally downwards at 6 O'clock the orientation of the tilt may be changed to 9 O'clock thereby producing a thrust vectored in the yaw plane. Finally another orientation of the tilt would produce a combination of pitch and yaw vectored thrust, a much sought after and highly desirable S, capability for gas turbine engines.
*o 4 During operation the high pressure exhaust gases o4«* 20 push all the flaps and seals outward wherein the flaps are held in place by their actuating systems and the seals are held in place by the seal retaining means 80. The radially outward forces due to the high pressure force the seals which are in overlapping engagement with and radially inward of the adjacent flaps into fluid sealing engagement.
The present invention keeps the divergent seals and S* associated seal segments and sealing sections o* properly aligned with respect to the divergent flaps 30 when the flaps are pivoted is, a manner to produce an 4r asymmetric divergent nozzle section for thrust 4 00 a 44 0916A PATENT 13DV-9687 vectoring. The present invention also minimizes leakage during the thrust vectoring operation. The present invention also seals between the flaps during the more conventional pivoting of the divergent and convergent flaps to vary the throat area and nozzle exhaust area, so as to maximize sealing with the flaps and minimize leakage. As can be seen in FIGS.
2 through 8 each seal segment 56 can twist about backbone 50 so to better orient itself or align its sealing segment 56 to maximize sealing with adjacent divergent flaps 28. The force to accomplish this is supplied by the high pressure exhaust gases in the nozzle. The curvature or bowing outward of seal segment 56 further enhances the sealing function by always keeping the sealing segment in tension pressed against the divergent flaps.
