Abstract: An exhaust duct for an engine includes an outer exhaust duct and a nested exhaust duct capable of having at least two configurations. The nested exhaust duct is circumferentially surrounded by the outer exhaust duct for a first length of the nested exhaust duct in a first configuration. The nested exhaust duct is circumferentially surrounded by the outer exhaust duct for a second length of the nested exhaust duct in a second configuration, which is less than the first length.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes an engine casing and a combustor liner enclosed within the engine casing. The engine includes a flow path for cooling the combustor liner with an air stream and located in between the engine casing and the combustor liner. The engine includes an inspection port penetrating the engine casing, the flow path, and the combustor liner and wherein the inspection port is positioned to allow an operator to view sacrificed zones of a sacrificial support structure.
