Abstract:
A bell-mouth scoop assembly includes an actuator comprising a plurality of hinge members configured to rotate in unison about a respective hinge axis of rotation from a first stowed position to a second deployed position and at least one linkage arm extending outwardly from at least one of the plurality of hinge members. The bell-mouth scoop assembly further comprises a bell-mouth panel comprising a panel longitudinal centerline and pivotably coupled to each linkage arm, in the first stowed position the bell-mouth panel (configured to conform to an outer surface of the with the panel longitudinal centerline aligned about a circumference of the flow discharge nozzle, in the second deployed position the bell-mouth panel configured to extend away from the outer surface of the flow discharge nozzle with the longitudinal centerline aligned parallelly with the nozzle centerline.
