Abstract
A turbofan engine control system and method includes a core nacelle housing (), a compressor and a turbine. A turbofan is arranged upstream from the core nacelle and is surrounded by a fan nacelle (). A bypass flow path () is arranged downstream from the turbofan between the core and fan nacelles. The bypass flow path includes a nozzle exit area (). A controller () detects at least one of a take-off condition and a landing condition. The controller changes effectively the nozzle exit area to achieve a thrust vector in response to the take-off and landing conditions.
