Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013141933A1] A nacelle assembly for a high-bypass gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes a core nacelle defined about an engine centerline axis, a fan nacelle mounted at least partially around the core nacelle to define a fan bypass flow path for a fan bypass airflow, a fan variable area nozzle axially movable relative the fan nacelle to vary a fan nozzle exit area and adjust a fan pressure ratio of the fan bypass airflow during engine operation, and a controller operable to control the fan variable area nozzle to vary a fan nozzle exit area and adjust the pressure ratio of the fan bypass airflow.
