An exhaust nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine, the assembly
comprises a main axis, an inner nozzle, an outer nozzle, a translatable
centre-body and an actuator for translating the centre-body between a
forward position and a rearward position. The centre-body is disposed
radially inwardly of the inner nozzle thereby partly defining an inner
duct for a core engine gas flow, an outer duct for a bypass gas flow is
defined by the inner nozzle and the outer nozzle. The outer nozzle
extends downstream of the inner nozzle and with the centre-body defines a
final mixing duct having a final exhaust exit area. When the centre-body
is in the forward position the final exhaust exit area is at a maximum
area, and when the centre-body is in a rearward position the final
exhaust exit area is at a minimum area.
