A method of actuating a hydraulic latch and a fan duct includes providing a pressurized fluid for actuating a latch, providing a valve to control flow of pressurized fluid to the latch and the fan duct, and selectively opening the valve, whereby the pressurized fluid opens the fan duct. A gas turbine engine includes a fan duct with an inner structure surrounding an engine core, a fan case surrounding a fan, and at least one latch. The at least one latch secures a first portion of the fan duct inner structure to a core engine fame or to a second portion of the fan duct inner structure. The at least one latch is also configured to secure the second portion of the fan duct inner structure to the core engine fame or to the first portion of the fan duct inner structure.
