Abstract
A gas turbine engine according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a tail cone; an exhaust nozzle covering the tail cone from outside in a radial direction, with an exhaust gas passage defined between the exhaust nozzle and the tail cone; a tubular support casing that is located upstream of the exhaust nozzle and that supports the exhaust nozzle movably in a forward/rearward direction; and an actuator that is mounted on the exhaust nozzle or the support casing and that moves the exhaust nozzle relative to the tail cone in the forward/rearward direction to change a cross-sectional area of the exhaust gas passage.
