F Exhaust ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
Part of the air absorbed by the fan is directly evacuated to the outside; the remaining part is directed to the engine combustion chamber and burnt gases are ejected through an exhaust nozzle.
The engine exhaust section directs fan discharge air for either normal or reverse thrust operation.
In forward thrust mode, fan air flow 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 blocker doors, integrated in the short nacelle body. The blocker doors turn the engine airflow forward and provide a braking effect for the aircraft on the ground.
Thrust reverser can be operated only on the ground.

3. Description
The exhaust system consists of a primary nozzle for hot exhaust and a fan nozzle which incorporates the thrust reverser system.
A. Hot Exhaust
F Exhaust-General ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The primary exhaust forms the rear part of the engine.
It consists of a center body and a rear conical nozzle.
B. Fan Nozzle
F Fan Reverser Deployed ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The fan nozzle forms a part of the nacelle and provides an annulus for exit of the fan flow.
It consists of fixed cowls, with pivoting doors which form :
  • a continuation of the nacelle aerodynamic line
  • the outer wall of the exhaust nozzle.
This outer wall contains an inner cowl forming the inner wall of the exhaust nozzle.
The fan nozzle/thrust reverser assembly is hinged to the pylon and clamped to the engine fan frame.
C. Thrust Reverser System
F Thrust Reverser System ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The thrust reverser system uses part of engine exhaust power to provide additional aerodynamic braking during aircraft landing.
The thrust reverser system is hydraulically actuated by the hydraulic pump mounted on the engine.
It is controlled through the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) from the cockpit by a lever hinged to the corresponding throttle control lever.
