The structure is attached to a pivotable flap arranged to define a nozzle area. A cable passes through an orifice defined by the flap. An actuator system is operable to mechanically retract the cable therein to lessen the nozzle area and mechanically extend the cable to enable the flow to increase the nozzle area. The actuator system is engaged with the cable. A segment of the cable, opposite the actuator system, is attached to a fixed structure. A method of providing a variable fan exit area is also disclosed. |
