    摘要: A variable area nozzle assembly includes a fixed center plug, a fixed outer nozzle, and an inner nozzle. The fixed center plug includes a seal. The inner nozzle is disposed between the fixed center plug and the fixed outer nozzle. The inner nozzle includes an inner nozzle body. The inner nozzle body forms a primary duct between the inner nozzle and the fixed outer nozzle. The inner nozzle body forms a secondary duct and a gap. The gap is a nozzle outlet of the secondary duct. The secondary duct is disposed between the inner nozzle body and the fixed center plug upstream of the seal. The inner nozzle body forms a plurality of apertures. The inner nozzle body is translatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the primary duct has a first cross-sectional area and the plurality of apertures are isolated from the gap by the seal. In the second position, the primary duct has a second cross-sectional area and the plurality of apertures are connected in fluid communication with the gap.
