(A1)) A turbofan engine includes core and fan nacelles that provide a bypass flow path having a nozzle exit area. The bypass flow path carries a bypass flow to be expelled from the nozzle exit area. A turbofan is arranged within the fan nacelle and upstream from the core nacelle for generating the bypass flow. A flow control device includes a surface in the bypass flow path including an aperture. The flow device is adapted to introduce a fluid into the bypass flow path for altering a boundary layer of the bypass flow that effectively changes the nozzle exit area. In one example, bleed air is introduced through the aperture. In another example, pulses of fluid from a Helmholz resonator flow through the aperture. By decreasing the boundary layer, the nozzle exit area is effectively increased. By increasing the boundary layer, the nozzle exit area is effectively decreased.
