Methods and apparatus are provided for an exhaust duct having an externally replaceable acoustic liner. The exhaust duct includes a forward section that is configured to be axially coupled with a bulkhead collar on the aircraft, a body section that is coupled to the forward section and a stinger cap that includes the replaceable acoustic liner. The replaceable acoustic liner is configured to be slideably received by the body section.

We claim: 1. An exhaust duct for use in an aircraft, comprising: a forward section configured to be axially coupled with the aircraft; a body section coupled to the forward section; and a stinger cap with an acoustic liner, the acoustic liner configured to be slideably received by the body section,
We claim: 1. An exhaust duct for use in an aircraft, comprising: a forward section configured to be axially coupled with the aircraft; a body section coupled to the forward section; and a stinger cap with an acoustic liner, the acoustic liner configured to be slideably received by the body section, and replaceable from outside the aircraft. 2. The exhaust duct of claim 1, wherein the acoustic liner is formed from acoustically permeable material. 3. The exhaust duct of claim 2, wherein the acoustically permeable material is feltmetal or perfmetal. 4. The exhaust duct of claim 1, wherein the stinger cap further includes a structural skin member configured to be structurally coupled with an aircraft support frame. 5. The exhaust duct of claim 1, wherein the stinger cap further includes an exhaust pipe, the acoustic liner being removably coupled to the exhaust pipe. 6. The exhaust duct of claim 1, wherein the forward section includes a bellmouth configured to slideably receive the acoustic liner. 7. The exhaust duct of claim 1, wherein the body section includes a muffler section having an outer skin with a plurality of baffles, the plurality of baffles being configured to slideably receive and support the acoustic liner. 8. The exhaust duct of claim 7, wherein the body section further includes a flow inhibitor mounted on the outer skin, the flow inhibitor configured to sealingly engage a bulkhead collar on the aircraft. 9. The exhaust duct of claim 7, wherein the body section further includes an aft seal leg attached to the outer skin and a first compressible seal mounted thereon, the compressible seal being configured to sealingly engage a support frame on the aircraft. 10. The exhaust duct of claim 9, wherein the stinger cap includes a second compressible seal configured to sealingly engage the aft seal leg. 11. An auxiliary power unit exhaust duct for use in an aircraft, comprising: a forward section configured to be axially coupled with the aircraft, the forward section having a flow entrainment bellmouth; a body section coupled to the forward section, the body section having an outer skin and a plurality of baffles; and a stinger cap with a replaceable acoustic liner, the replaceable acoustic liner being configured to be slideably received by the plurality of baffles of the body section and be slideably coupled to the bellmouth. 12. The exhaust duct of claim 11, wherein the acoustic liner is formed from acoustically permeable material. 13. The exhaust duct of claim 12, wherein the acoustically permeable material is feltmetal or perfmetal. 14. The exhaust duct of claim 11, wherein the stinger cap further includes a structural skin member configured to be structurally coupled with an aircraft support frame. 15. The exhaust duct of claim 11, wherein the stinger cap further includes an exhaust pipe, the replaceable acoustic liner being removably coupled to the exhaust pipe. 16. A method of externally replacing an acoustic liner of an exhaust duct mounted in an aircraft, comprising: sliding a stinger cap with the acoustic liner out of the exhaust duct; uncoupling the acoustic liner from the stinger cap; coupling a new acoustic liner to the stinger cap; and inserting the stinger cap with the new acoustic liner into the exhaust duct. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising uncoupling the stinger cap from the aircraft. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein uncoupling the stinger cap from the aircraft includes unfastening a structural skin member of the stinger cap from an aircraft support frame. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein uncoupling the acoustic liner from the stinger cap includes uncoupling the acoustic liner from an exhaust pipe of the stinger cap. 20. The method of claim 16, wherein coupling a new acoustic liner to the stinger cap includes fastening the new acoustic liner to an exhaust pipe of the stinger cap. 21. The method of claim 16, further comprising coupling the stinger cap to the aircraft. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein coupling the stinger cap to the aircraft includes fastening a structural skin member of the stinger cap to an aircraft support frame.
