A splitter assembly for a gas turbine engine of an aircraft propulsion system includes a housing, a splitter band, a plurality of cams, and a plurality of vanes. The splitter band includes a plurality of segments. The plurality of segments are arranged circumferentially about the engine axis within the housing. Each of the plurality of segments is translatable within the housing between an extended position and a retracted position. Each of the plurality of cams contacts at least one of the plurality of segments. Each of the plurality of cams is pivotable about a respective pivot axis. The plurality of cams are configured to effect translation of the plurality of segments by pivoting about the pivot axis. The plurality of vanes are arranged circumferentially about an engine axis. Each of the plurality of vanes is pivotably mounted to and pivotable with a respective one of the plurality of cams.
