Abstract:
A valve assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising two flappers movable independently from one another between an open position and a closed position; and a fairing disposed between the two flappers. The fairing has a portion extending downstream of the two flappers. The portion is a downstream portion of a substantially streamlined body. The two flappers are movable relative to the fairing, and when in the open position, the two flappers abut the fairing and form an upstream portion of the substantially streamlined body. A method of flowing air through a valve assembly for a gas turbine engine is also presented.
