Aircraft and Method for Operating

An aircraft defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a downstream direction, the aircraft comprising:

• an engine defining a centerline axis, the engine comprising a fan and a turbomachine rotatably driving the fan, the turbomachine including an exhaust section comprising an outlet nozzle, the outlet nozzle including a fixed portion and a movable portion,
• wherein the movable portion is movable from a first position to a second position, wherein when the movable portion is in the first position, the movable portion is aligned with the centerline axis, and wherein when the movable portion is in the second position, the movable portion is canted downward in the vertical direction and outward in the lateral direction relative to the centerline axis, and
• wherein the movable portion includes an end engaging the fixed portion, wherein when the movable portion is in the first position, the end defines a nonzero cant angle with the centerline axis.
