A variable area nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a nozzle disposed about a nozzle centerline and a fixed ring radially surrounding the nozzle. The nozzle includes a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface. The radially inner surface defines an outlet cross-sectional area of the nozzle. The nozzle is movable relative to the nozzle centerline between a first position of the radially inner surface defining a maximum area of the outlet cross-sectional area and a second position of the radially inner surface defining a minimum area of the outlet cross-sectional area. With the nozzle in the first position, the radially outer surface contacts the fixed ring. With the nozzle in the second position, the radially outer surface is spaced from the fixed ring.
