摘要 |
An aircraft including trailing edge flaps, a wing mounted propulsor positioned such that the flaps are located in a slipstream of the first propulsor in use when deployed. The aircraft further including a thrust vectorable propulsor configured to selectively vary the exhaust efflux vector of the propulsor in at least one plane. The thrust vectorable propulsor includes a ducted fan configurable between a first mode, in which the fan provides net forward thrust to the aircraft, and a second mode in which the fan provides net drag to the aircraft. The fan is positioned to ingest a boundary layer airflow in use when operating in the first mode. |

1. An aircraft comprising:
a thrust vectorable propulsor configured to selectively vary the exhaust efflux vector of the propulsor in at least one plane and configurable between a first mode, in which the thrust vectorable propulsor provides net forward thrust to the aircraft, and a second mode in which the thrust vectorable propulsor provides net drag to the aircraft, the thrust vectorable propulsor being positioned to ingest a boundary layer airflow in use when operating in the first mode. |
