An aircraft having a moveable ejector member for assisting in alleviating a boundary layer flowing along an aircraft surface is disclosed. The moveable ejector member is capable of being placed at a variety of positions between a fully open position and a nested position to entrain the boundary layer with another fluid flow. The ejector member can take the form of an ejector shroud used with a nacelle. In some forms, a gas turbine engine is used to provide an ejector flow to entrain the boundary layer through the flow path.
