Abstract:
A disclosed control system for a gas turbine engine includes a controller configured to set a position of the variable area fan nozzle according to a predetermined schedule of variable area fan nozzle positions corresponding to a flight operating condition. The schedule is determined in view of a relationship between a position of the variable area nozzle and a performance level of the engine at current flight conditions.
