Prowler Motors are mostly J52-408Bravo's now. Same thrust as the
408A's (10,400 - 11,200 lbs per motor) but modified to try and
eliminate the "chugs", (didn't work, the compressor still stalls under
the right conditions), also have new 3 1/2 bearings and a reinforced
or beefed up compressor casing.

Hi,

I was to an air show awhile back. I was inspecting a Navy A6 Intruder. I
caught the exhaust end of the tail pipe and noticed a circumference of
mesh "feathers" on the inner ID, that honestly looked like dragonfly
wings, gossamer in texture. I wonder what the function of this is, what
the material is, and how is it produced? A stamping process is a guess.
Material---titanium?

Thanks.
