A variable area nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a fixed structure surrounding an exhaust duct extending along a nozzle centerline. The fixed structure includes an upper side and a lower side opposite the upper side. The variable area nozzle assembly further includes a nozzle disposed about the nozzle centerline. The nozzle includes a nozzle throat cross-sectional area and a nozzle outlet cross-sectional area downstream of the nozzle throat cross-sectional area. The nozzle includes an upper panel and a lower panel. The upper panel includes an upper downstream end and the lower panel including a lower downstream end. The upper downstream end and the lower downstream end define a portion of the nozzle throat cross-sectional area. The variable area nozzle assembly further includes a nozzle actuation system including an upper shaft connected to the upper panel and a lower shaft connected to the lower panel.
