Abstract
A gas turbine engine having a centerline axis is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a fan and a fan cowl assembly surrounding the fan to define a bypass duct configured to channel airflow for the fan. The fan cowl assembly includes a stationary cowl and a transcowl. The gas turbine engine further includes a plurality of actuators configured for displacing the transcowl relative to the stationary cowl. Each of the actuators is skewed relative to the centerline axis of the engine.
