Zusammenfassung:A fan nacelle (104), a gas turbine engine cell assembly (190), and an aircraft are provided. The fan nacelle (104) includes a fan duct skin (110) arranged in a fan duct (112) to direct airflow from the fan of a Turbofan engine toward a fan nozzle (122). An exterior skin (114) of the fan nacelle directs air flow around an exterior of the engine. The fan duct skin (110) and the exterior skin (114) terminate at a trailing edge (108), and a trailing edge portion of the exterior skin is one of parallel to and diverging from a trailing edge portion of the fan duct skin in an aft direction. In certain aspects, the trailing edge portion of the exterior skin is actuatable or inflatable to selectively divert from the trailing edge portion of the fan duct skin.
