THRUST VECTORING EXHAUST NOZZLE IN SECOND DEMENSIONAL NOZZLE

摘要

A vectorable gas turbine engine exhaust nozzle including deployable angled flow deflectors for providing thrust vectoring in the yaw direction. In one embodiment the deflectors are pivotally deployed in the diverging section of a two dimensional nozzle with the use of either electromechanical or pneumatic rotary actuators. The deflectors are preferably employed in a two dimensional convergent divergent exhaust nozzle which includes a means for varying the size of the throat and a means for providing pitch thrust vectoring.
