Abstract:
A nacelle assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fan nacelle bounding a bypass flow path. The fan nacelle includes a first nacelle section and a second nacelle section. The second nacelle section includes a moveable portion movable relative to a forward portion to define a secondary flow passage. The first nacelle section includes an inlet lip. A thrust reverser is configured to selectively communicate a portion of bypass airflow between the bypass flow path and the secondary flow passage. A pump is configured to selectively communicate airflow between the inlet lip and the secondary flow passage. A method of flow distribution for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
