    摘要: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a rotor and a nacelle fairing that extends around the rotor in relation to an axis. The nacelle fairing includes an upstream portion forming an inlet section of the nacelle fairing as well as a downstream portion, a downstream end of which forms an outlet section of the nacelle fairing. The downstream portion includes radially inner and outer walls, both of which are made of a deformable shape memory material. The wall has independently actuatable piston actuator mechanisms, each actuator mechanism being actuatable independently of the others and being designed to cooperate with means built into an inner surface of the wall to deform the wall in a radial direction in relation to the axis under the effect of a predetermined displacement command.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine variable area exhaust nozzle has a plurality of first and second movable members arranged circumferentially around a fan casing extending in downstream. The first and second movable members alternate around the variable area nozzle. During cruise conditions the first and second movable members are in un-actuated positions. At take off conditions the first movable members are in an actuated position and the second movable members are in the un-actuated position. At top of climb conditions the first movable members are in the un-actuated position and the second movable members are in an actuated position. The first movable members move radially outwardly from the un-actuated position to the actuated position and the second movable members move radially inwardly from the un-actuated position to the actuated position.
