System and method to improve the exhaust pressure across a RAM air turbine through secondary flow mixing

A secondary flow lobe mixer increases the total-to-static pressure ratio across a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) by developing a localized pressure drop near the discharge of the turbine rotor exhaust. This pressure drop allows for additional power generation for a given free-stream flight condition.
