An assembly is provided for an aircraft (128). This aircraft assembly include an airframe (92) with a horizontal axis (90). The aircraft assembly also includes a powerplant (24) arranged with the airframe (92). The powerplant (24) includes a gas turbine engine (36), an exhaust nozzle (39) and a flowpath (40) fluidly coupling the gas turbine engine (36) to the exhaust nozzle (39). The exhaust nozzle (39) includes a support structure (80) and a plurality of nozzle flaps (74A, 74B) disposed on opposing sides of the flowpath (40). Each of the nozzle flaps (74A, 74B) is pivotally connected to the support structure (80). The exhaust nozzle (39) is configured to exhaust combustion products received from the gas turbine engine (36) along a first trajectory (84B) when the nozzle flaps (74A, 74B) are pivoted into a first arrangement. The first trajectory (84B) is angularly offset from the horizontal axis (90) in a vertical upward direction.
