Abstract: An exhaust section of a gas turbine engine includes an exhaust plug defining a plurality of exhaust plug apertures circumferentially spaced from each other. Also included is an exhaust nozzle radially offset from the exhaust plug defining an exhaust pathway between the exhaust plug and the exhaust nozzle. Further included is an exhaust plug liner having a non-uniform outer surface axially aligned with the exhaust plug apertures. The exhaust plug liner is rotatable relative to the exhaust plug between a first position and a second position to selectively change a cross-sectional area of the exhaust pathway during thrust reversal operation to reduce an amount of reverse thrust necessary.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a nacelle that encloses a fan rotor carrying a plurality of fan blades. The nacelle is formed with droop such that one portion extends axially further from the fan blades than does another portion. The nacelle is rotatable such that a circumferential location of the one portion and the other portion may be varied dependent on flight conditions. A method of operating a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A flowpath channel has a blade pivotally connected along a longitudinal axis thereof, at opposing top and bottom ends thereof, to respective top and bottom portions of the flowpath channel. The chord axis of the blade, between leading and trailing edges thereof, is capable of pivoting parallel to and skewed from the flowpath. The top end of the blade and an attachment structure secured to the flowpath channel each include a race. A bearing is disposed therebetween, and the blade is rotatable about the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a thrust reverser for a gas turbine engine. As a translating cowl is translated aft from the nacelle of the gas turbine engine, a cascade is also translated in the aft direction and a blocker door coupled to the cascade is pivoted into a fan duct by means of a camming surface, thereby diverting air in the fan duct through the cascade. In the stowed position, both the cascade and the blocker door are disposed radially outward of a radially inner wall of the nacelle and/or the translating cowl.

Abstract: A lubrication system for a gas turbine engine includes a primary fluid tank to receive a primary fluid, at least one secondary fluid tank to receive at least one fluid additive, and a mixer. The mixer has at least a first inlet in fluid communication with the primary fluid tank and a second inlet in fluid communication with the at least one secondary fluid tank. The mixer has at least one outlet that delivers a mixture of the primary fluid and the at least one fluid additive to a gas turbine engine component.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a fan rotor having fan blades received within an outer nacelle, and the outer nacelle having an inner surface. The outer nacelle is secured to an inner portion through a mount flange at a first axial location. An acoustic treatment extends inwardly of the outer portion of the nacelle and across the axial location of the mount flange and further inwardly toward the fan blades.
