Abstract: An unducted single fan engine includes a housing having one or more fan blades coupled to the housing and configured to rotate circumferentially. The engine has one or more outlet guide vanes coupled to the housing. Each of the one or more guide vanes has a leading edge portion having a variable leading edge. The engine has one or more actuation devices coupled to each of the one or more outlet guide vanes. The one or more actuation devices are configured to control the variable leading edge of the respective outlet guide vane. The variable leading edge is controllable to vary the pitch, camber, lean angle, or sweep of the respective outlet guide vane.

Abstract: A variable core cowl vent nozzle system is described herein, the system including a core casing at least partially surrounding a core engine of a gas turbine engine, and a core cowl extending aftward from the core casing. The core cowl defines a core cowl vent area between the core cowl and a primary nozzle. At least one of the core cowl and the primary nozzle is movable to vary the core cowl vent area. A method for varying the core cowl vent area by moving one or more of the core cowl and the primary nozzle is also described herein.
