Mode strut and divergent flap interface

[0014]A turbofan engine 10 is shown schematically in FIG. 1. As known, a fan section moves air and rotates about an axis A. A compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section are also centered on the axis A. FIG. 1 is a highly schematic view, however, it does show the main components of the gas turbine engine. Further, while a particular type of gas turbine engine is illustrated in this figure, it should be understood that the claim scope extends to other types of gas turbine engines.

[0015]The engine 10 includes an exhaust nozzle 12 for varying the nozzle exit area 13 to achieve a desired thrust. The engine 10 includes a core 14 housing a low spool 16. A fan 18, low pressure compressor 20 and low pressure turbine 22 are mounted on the low spool 16. A high spool 24 is arranged coaxially relative to the low spool 16. A high pressure compressor 26 and high pressure turbine 28 are mounted on the high spool 24. A combustor 30 is arranged between the high pressure compressor 2
