An integrated thrust reverser vertical thrust control and divergent nozzle for controlling the exiting gases from a thrust producing aircraft engine. The nozzle comprises at least two nozzle reverser doors that are pivotable about a fore and aft aircraft pivotal connection and an actuator system for pivoting the doors. The pivotable connection at each pivot point is remotely disengageable allowing the doors to selectively pivot about either their forward or aft connection. The doors can be positioned through an infinite number of different positions through their travel about either pivotal connection. When in a forward thrust mode the two nozzle reverser doors pivot about their forward pivot point, when in a reverse mode about their aft pivot connections and a combination of forward and aft pivot connections for aircraft vectoring.
