An apparatus and method comprising a fan nozzle sleeve (329), a plurality of slider mechanisms (346), and a fan nozzle actuator system (340). A flow of gases (306) generated by an engine moves through and exits the engine at an aft end of the fan nozzle sleeve. The plurality of slider mechanisms is configured to connect the fan nozzle sleeve to a translating sleeve (335) for a thrust reverser (336) for the engine. The fan nozzle actuator system is configured to activate the plurality of slider mechanisms to move the fan nozzle sleeve in an aft direction to change a direction of the flow of gases exiting the engine at the aft end of the fan nozzle sleeve.
