Abstract
A method of assembling a gas turbine engine includes coupling an annular exhaust duct to the gas turbine engine, coupling a plurality of chevrons to the annular exhaust duct, and coupling a chevron actuation system to the annular exhaust duct such that selective operation of the chevron actuation system repositions the plurality of chevrons to adjust an amount convergence of the annular exhaust duct.
