Abstract

See full text

A gas turbine engine includes a nacelle assembly having a core nacelle defined about an engine axis and a fan nacelle assembly mounted at least partially around the core nacelle to define a fan bypass flow path. The fan nacelle assembly includes a fan duct nacelle section and a fan nozzle nacelle section moveable relative to the fan duct nacelle section. A thrust reverser system includes a plurality of pivot doors movable relative to the fan nacelle assembly between stowed and deployed positions. A variable area fan nozzle is in communication with the fan bypass flow path. A first actuator is mounted to the fan duct nacelle section to actuate the pivot door thrust reverser system, and a second actuator is mounted to the fan duct nacelle section to move the fan nozzle nacelle section relative to the fan duct nacelle section to vary a fan nozzle exit area.
