Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for operating a gas turbine engine assembly for an aircraft that includes a wing, wherein the gas turbine engine includes a core gas turbine engine and a fan coupled to the core gas turbine engine, the gas turbine engine assembly extends upstream from the wing and includes a first cowl and a second cowl that is repositionable with respect to the first cowl. The method includes selectively positioning the second cowl in a first operational position such that airflow is channeled from the gas turbine engine across a surface of the wing to facilitate increasing lift, and selectively positioning the second cowl in a second operational position such that the airflow is channeled from the gas turbine engine to effect reverse thrust.
