In a multi stage ducted fan or ducted propeller gas turbine engine, a fan flow exit path is provided in the cowl between axially adjacent stages of blades. The stage of blades downstream of the exit are each pivotable to attitudes which on continued rotation of the stage, induces a reverse flow of ambient air into the duct via the nozzle. The normal and reversed airflows meet under the exit path and pass therethrough to atmosphere. The need for blocker doors in the duct is obviated and energy is imported to the fan air passing through the exit by both stages of blades.
