Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a core engine defined about an axis, a gear system driven by the core engine, a fan, and a variable area flow system. The gear system defines a gear reduction ratio of greater than or equal to about 2.3. The fan is driven by the gear system about the axis to generate a bypass flow. The variable area flow system operates to effect the bypass flow.
