Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention is a technique to suppress noise in a jet engine. A substantially annular fan nozzle of a separate-flow turbofan engine includes a flow boundary surface and an outlet to discharge fan air into atmosphere. At least one vane extends substantially radially from the flow boundary surface to vector at least a portion of the fan air toward a direction where noise suppression is desired. The-vane is situated in proximity of the outlet and has a span substantially greater than a thickness of a local boundary layer of the fan air.
