Summary: | A system and method for mitigating thermal loading between engine exhaust structures having different coefficients of thermal expansion. The engine exhaust structure comprises a metallic duct portion, a ceramic duct portion, and a double bipod fitting joining the metallic duct portion to the ceramic duct portion. The double bipod fitting is capable of flexing and taking up the thermal expansion differences between the joined metallic and ceramic ducts across the full temperature spectrum that an engine exhaust structure will experience in service. |
