DEPLOYABLE DIVERGENT NOZZLE FOR A PROPULSIVE UNIT

摘要

The present invention relates to a deployable diverging bell (2) for a thruster, the bell comprising: a stationary first diverging bell portion (3) suitable for being connected to a stationary support of the thruster (1); a movable second diverging bell portion (4) that is movable between a retracted position and a deployed position in which it is connected to the downstream end of the first diverging bell portion (3) in order to extend it (3); and at least one deployment mechanism (6, 8) including means (6) for moving the movable second diverging bell portion (4) relative to the stationary first diverging bell portion (3) in order to deploy the movable second diverging bell portion (4) from its retracted position to its deployed position; the bell being characterized in that it includes at least one damper means (13) for damping vibration coming from the movable second diverging bell portion (4) and/or the deployment mechanism (6, 8).
