DOC AIRBUS | AMM A320FEXHAUST - GENERAL - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
1. General
The air entering by the fan is divided into two parts, the cold and hot airflows, which are mixed through the turbine exhaust system (exhaust nozzle assembly and centerbody assembly) before exhausting to the atmosphere.
The engine exhaust section directs fan discharge air to either normal or reverse thrust operation.
In the forward thrust mode, the fan airflow and burnt gases are evacuated directly at the back.
Each engine is equipped with a reverser system which reverses cold fan air by means of translating sleeves and cascades, turning the engine airflow forward and providing a braking effect for the aircraft on the ground.
Thrust reversers can be operated on the ground only.
