Abstract:
An exhaust nozzle of a gas turbine engine which includes a nozzle wall, the nozzle wall including an upstream, fixed structure and a downstream, translatable structure that is translatable relative to the fixed structure, a flow channel which is limited radially outwards by the nozzle wall, a centerbody arranged in the flow channel, at least one strut connecting the centerbody to the nozzle wall, a thrust reverser unit that comprises blocking doors, a first actuation system for deployment of the blocking doors into a deployed position for thrust reversal, and a second actuation system for translating the translatable structure between a stowed, upstream position and a fully deployed, downstream position. It is provided that the at least one strut is connected to the fixed structure, that the blocking doors are connected to the translatable structure, and that the first actuation system and the second actuation system are independent actuation systems.
