ABSTRACT:
A turbofan nacelle includes forward and aft cowls adjoining at a joint, and including an exhaust duct having a main outlet for discharging exhaust. A variable nozzle surrounds the exhaust duct and includes a secondary outlet around the main outlet. A thrust reverser bridges the forward and aft cowls upstream from the variable nozzle. The variable nozzle is inductively powered and controlled across the closed joint, and is uncoupled inductively from the forward cowl when the joint is open.
