GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH FAN VARIABLE AREA NOZZLE HAVING ROTATING OVERLAPPING TABS

摘要

A turbofan engine includes a fan variable area nozzle having a rotationally overlapped nozzle assembly having a first tab section and a second tab section rotationally mounted relative to the first tab section. The rotationally overlapped nozzle assembly changes the physical area and geometry of the bypass flow path during particular flight conditions.
