Abstract
Various non-limiting embodiments of a nozzle assembly for use with a propulsion system and a sleeve assembly for use with the nozzle assembly are disclosed herein. In a non-limiting embodiment, the nozzle assembly includes, but is not limited to, a nacelle. The nozzle assembly further includes, but is not limited to, a sleeve assembly mounted within the nacelle downstream of the engine. The sleeve assembly is configured to receive the mass flow from the engine and to guide the mass flow to an exit of the propulsion system. The sleeve assembly is comprised of a plurality of sleeve segments arranged in a circumferential configuration. Each sleeve segment of the plurality of sleeve segments has an elongate body that is longitudinally aligned with a longitudinal axis of the sleeve assembly.
