Abstract
A cascade-variable area fan nozzle system (the 'CVAFN System') is provided. The CVAFN system may comprise a cascade portion and a variable area fan nozzle ('VAFN') portion. The VAFN portion may include a VAFN panel. The cascade and VAFN panel may be integrally formed with one another. The CVAFN system may include an actuation system (e.g., a jack screw) that is configured to translate the cascade and VAFN panel forward and aft. The cascade and VAFN panel may be translated aft in response to activation of the thrust reverser and/or CVAFN system.
