Abstract
A liner assembly includes a plurality of flaps arranged about a central axis and operable to move relative to the central axis. Each of the plurality of flaps defines a forward end and an aft end, lateral sides, and an inner surface and an outer surface relative to the central axis. Each of the plurality of flaps has a thickness between the inner surface and the outer surface, and thickness varies in a lateral direction between the lateral sides.
