Abstract: A fan assembly is provided. The fan assembly includes a fan, a fan casing circumscribing the fan, and a fan casing heating system in thermal communication with the fan casing. The fan includes a hub, and a plurality of fan blades extending from the hub. Each fan blade of the plurality of fan blades terminates at a respective blade tip. A clearance gap is defined between the fan casing and the blade tips. The fan casing heating system is configured to apply heat to the fan casing when the fan is operating in a first operational mode, and remove the applied heat when the fan transitions into a second operational mode.

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.
