Zusammenfassung:An axial divergent section slot nozzle for an engine is provided. The nozzle has a plurality of spaced apart divergent flaps, at least one device for moving the divergent flaps to change a cross sectional area of the nozzle in a throat region, and a bridge member positioned intermediate adjacent ones of the flaps. The bridge member includes a bridge bracket and a sealing element joined to the bridge bracket. The sealing element has an upper surface. The bridge bracket has a lower surface which diverges from the upper surface of the sealing element. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bridge bracket has a shape which allows variable slot size depending on nozzle throat jet area.
