You know I've spent 3 months trying to find photo's that peep into these bloody exhausts and at best, you see fairly innocuous looking 'channels'
that direct the exhaust onto to rear of the wing.
I've not found one that shows any detail (just suspicious inky blackness) of what is present further up the exhaust flow i.e. in the covered tunnels
which preceed the uncovered channels.
I'm expecting to see some kind of mixing system in this region, at the least we might expect some method of mixing cold air (gathered by the small
boundary layer ducts below the main intakes) with the hot exhaust.
Some have speculated that we might hope to see equipment to inject electrons into the exhaust in this area. If this were the case, presumably some
kind of pertrubrances are present to penetrate into the heart of the flow and not just the periphiary. My guess as to what this may look like is some
kind of helical arrangement of vanes the purpose of which is to dump electrons and help mix the cold air collected by the previously mentioned
auxillary inlets
any thoughts? what does industrial gas mixing / cooling equipment look like? might this be a good place to start.
