PROPULSION SYSTEM WITH CANTED MULTINOZZLE GRID

摘要

A propulsion system includes a canted multinozzle plate (144), which has a multitude of small nozzles (150) angled (not perpendicular) to major surfaces of the multinozzle grid plate. The multinozzle plate may be a cylindrical section or plate, and the multitude of nozzles may be substantially axisymmetric about the cylindrical plate. The propulsion system includes a pressurized gas source which may be placed either forward or aft of the multinozzle grid plate. The propulsion system may have a conical insert, an internal flow separator cone (180), to aid in changing directions of flow from the pressurized gas source, to divert the flow through the multiple nozzles.
