Abstract
An aircraft gas turbine engine includes an exhaust nozzle having a nozzle flowpath, and a nacelle of the gas turbine engine at least partially defining an exhaust nozzle flow area of the exhaust nozzle. The nacelle extends axially along an engine central longitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine and circumferentially around the engine central longitudinal axis. A shutter vector apparatus is attached to the nacelle and is operable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The shutter vector apparatus is configured to modulate the exhaust nozzle flow area when the shutter vector apparatus is moved between the stowed position and the deployed position. The shutter vector apparatus includes a plurality of shutter elements, each shutter element having at least one aerodynamic surface extending into the nozzle flowpath of the exhaust nozzle when the shutter vector apparatus is in the deployed position.
