Thrust vector control for aircraft

摘要

The invention is directed to a thrust vector control for aircraft with one or more jet engines whose thrust nozzles have an adjustable size exist cross-section, each of the jet engines having a ring rudder axially spaced behind the engine and movable about at least one pivot axis extending substantially perpendicular to the engine's longitudinal axis. A substantially planar rudder plate is secured diagonally in the inside cross-section of the ring rudder for each plane defined by each pivot axis and the longitudinal axis of the engine. The rudder plate or plates each consist of a material which is stable at high temperatures without supplementary cooling and which is mechanically loadable, and the connection between the rudder plate or plates and the ring rudder each include a layer of elastic and thermo-insulating material.
