A supersonic diverter which provides supersonic streams of gas in either of two oppositely disposed power channels. Two oppositely directed supersonic fluid streams are both diverted into either a power channel or an augmentation channel by means of a supersonic fluidic switch. One supersonic stream is directed to a power channel and the oppositely directed fluid stream is directed into an augmentation channel where it is ducted to join the stream passing through the power channel. A switching device is employed to simultaneously divert the oppositely directed streams from the power channel to the augmentation channel in the one nozzle and from the augmentation channel and to the power channel in the other nozzle. The diversion of the supersonic streams in each nozzle is controlled by varying the transverse pressure gradients established near a recirculation region between separation and attachment points in the diverging portions of the supersonic nozzles.
