A variable area fan nozzle for a turbofan aircraft engine includes a first structure defining a forward portion of a bypass duct of the turbofan aircraft engine and a second structure defining an aft portion of the bypass duct. The second structure is movable relative to the first structure between a deployed position where a porting flow passage defined between the forward portion of the bypass duct and the aft portion of the bypass duct is open, and a stowed portion where the porting flow passage is closed. The movable second structure comprises a vane and a slat attached to the vane and disposed forward of the vane. The porting flow passage extends between the slat and the vane when the second structure is in the deployed position.
