The present disclosure relates to optimisation of a cold nozzle, or bypass exit area, for a gas turbine engine, in particular for a geared turbofan gas turbine engine. Example embodiments include a method of optimising a geared turbofan gas turbine engine for an aircraft, the method comprising: determining expected service parameters for the aircraft, the expected service parameters including an expected range of travel for the aircraft; selecting components for the geared turbofan gas turbine engine to define a first smaller cold nozzle area if the range of travel is within a first smaller range and to define a second larger cold nozzle area if the range of travel is within a second larger range.
