Abstract
An aircraft powerplant includes a core of a gas turbine engine and an exhaust section. The core includes a core flowpath, a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. The core flowpath extends longitudinally through the compressor section, the combustor section and the turbine section. The exhaust section includes an exhaust flowpath and a flow diverter. The flow diverter includes a diverter panel configured to pivot between a first position and a second position. The flow diverter is configured to fluidly couple the diffuser section to the first nozzle section and fluidly decouple the diffuser section from the second nozzle section when the diverter panel is in the first position. The flow diverter is configured to fluidly couple the diffuser section to the second nozzle section and fluidly decouple the diffuser section from the first nozzle section when the diverter panel is in the second position.
