Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A turbofan engine includes a fan section. A core engine section drives the fan section. An outer nacelle surrounds the fan section and defines a radially outer surface of a fan duct. An inner nacelle surrounds the core engine section and defines a radially inner surface of the fan duct. A nozzle is disposed at a terminal end of the outer nacelle that defines an exit area for bypass air flow through the fan duct. The nozzle includes a convergent portion forward of a divergent portion and a turning angle for the divergent portion greater than about 12 degrees. A nacelle assembly and method are also disclosed.
