A couple of shots showing whats under the primary exhaust nozzle. We had to replace this one the other night. Looks like a pulse jet is hidden inside ;D.

Indeed, the effects of heat are quite apparent in there.....also, on the tail cone you can clearly see the straight flow in the area of that twin row of rivets, after the stators do their job......nice shots...

Quick question

Does anyone know how hot these get to?

That is hard to say, as it will depend on what the engine is doing at the time. At idle you will see around 430 degrees C, but that depends on whether you have bleed selected, packs on or anti ice. Of course, with an increase in throttle position the temperature will increase, take off 675 ish. However these temperatures are turbine temperatures and not jet pipe temperatures, so it will be a little cooler back here.
