Abstract: An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a bladed rotor and a thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle. The bladed rotor is rotatable about an axis. The thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle is configured to direct gas propelled by the bladed rotor out of the aircraft propulsion system along a first direction during a first mode and along a second direction during a second mode. The first direction is parallel with the axis or angularly offset from the axis by no more than five degrees. The second direction is angularly offset from the axis by at least seventy-five degrees. The thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle has a first exit area during the first mode and a second exit area during the second mode that is greater than the first exit area.

Abstract: A variable-geometry system for a gas turbine engine can be used to improve operations in various inclement weather conditions. This may be achieved by varying the orientation of an element in a gas turbine engine flowpath in response to a comparison between sensor-gathered parameter data and stored parameter values and ranges using a pre-programmed algorithm. The orientation of the element may be infinitely variable within a range of orientations.
