Photographer's remark
(14.8.2017, 08:13 CET)
Close up of the GE CF6-80C2D1F engine rated at 61,500 pounds of thrust. The cone protruding from the engine serves to regulate the flow of exhaust as it exits the engine and mixes with ambient air. Without such a device (some engines have exhaust mixers) the exhaust could violently mix with ambient reducing efficiency and increasing noise. Another trivial fact is the "D" in the engine designation stands for "Douglas". If this was on a B767 the designation would have a "B" for Boeing in it.
