An actuator assembly (14) includes a rotatable first shaft (22), a second shaft (26), and a ball screw mechanism (24). The second shaft (26) is telescopically received in and extensible relative to the first shaft (22). The second shaft (26) is rotatable w...

A nacelle assembly (N) for a bypass gas turbine engine includes a variable area fan nozzle (42) having a first fan nacelle section (52) and a second fan nacelle section (54). The variable area fan nozzle (42) is in communication with a fan bypass flow path...

A nacelle assembly for a high-bypass gas turbine engine (10) includes a variable area fan nozzle (42) in communication with a fan bypass flow path (40). An actuator assembly (56) is operable to move a second fan nacelle section (54) relative to a first fan...

A variable area fan nozzle assembly for a turbofan engine includes a nacelle having an aft edge and a translating thrust reverser sleeve with a trailing edge. The thrust reverser sleeve is movably disposed aft of the nacelle's aft edge and is movable betwe...

A variable area fan nozzle assembly for a turbofan engine includes a nacelle having an aft edge and a translating nozzle segment having a forward edge and a first end. The nozzle segment is movably disposed behind the aft edge such that an upstream bypass ...

An afterburner (30) includes an exhaust duct (32) with a fixed area outer nozzle (34) at an aft end thereof, and an ablative inner nozzle (36) therein. The smaller inner nozzle (36) is consumed during reheat operation to expose the larger outer nozzle (34)...

A variable geometry exhaust nozzle 10 for a turbine engine includes convergent and divergent flaps 12, 18 that circumscribe a gaspath 26 and define convergent and divergent nozzle sections 30, 32 with a throat 34 therebetween. A projection 56, which reside...
