Translating nozzle for mixed flow turbofan engine

A thrust reverser for a turbofan engine, comprising:

• an upper reverser door pivotally mounted to a frame and a lower reverser door pivotally mounted to the frame;
• an exhaust duct translationally mounted to the frame;
• a first actuator having a first actuator rod connected to the upper reverser door, the lower reverser door and the exhaust duct and
• a second actuator having a second actuator rod connected to the upper reverser door, the lower reverser door and the exhaust duct.

A gas turbine engine, comprising

• a core engine;
• a nacelle surrounding the core engine;
• a fan operably connected to the core engine and configured to drive air along a flow path in a bypass duct between the nacelle and an outer casing of the core engine;
• a mixing section where exhaust from the core engine is mixed with air in the flow path as the air exits the flow path and
• a thrust reverser downstream of the mixing section, wherein the thrust reverser comprises
• an upper reverser door pivotally mounted to a frame and a lower reverser door pivotally mounted to the frame,
• an exhaust duct translationally mounted to the frame,
• a first actuator having a first actuator rod connected to the upper reverser door, the lower reverser door and the exhaust duct and
• a second actuator having a second actuator rod connected to the upper reverser door, the lower reverser door and the exhaust duct.
