METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FLADE ENGINE NOZZLE

摘要

A method for adjusting a throat area of a jet aircraft exhaust nozzle assembly includes positioning a lower structure within a substantially rectangular nozzle assembly, coupling a ramp flap to the lower structure, and coupling an outer flap to the nozzle assembly such that movement of at least one of the ramp flap and the outer flap adjusts the throat area of the nozzle assembly.
