EXHAUST DUCT OF GAS TURBINE ENGINE

An exhaust duct (30) of a gas turbine engine (10) comprises a hub (36) defining a radially-inner surface (48) of a substantially annular exhaust gas path (66), and a strut (40) extending into the exhaust gas path (66). The strut (40) is attached to the hub (36) via a first fastener (88) at a forward fastening location (89) closer to a leading edge (54) of the strut (40) than to a trailing edge (52) of the strut (40), and via a second fastener (90) at an aft fastening location (91) closer to the trailing edge (52) than to the leading edge (54). The second fastener (90) is engaged with an appendage (56) of the strut (40). The appendage (56) is received into a receptacle (58) formed in the hub (36) open to the radially-inner surface (48).
