ABSTRACT:
A balanced thrust vectoring system for an aircraft designed to provide even weight distribution, simple thrust vectoring, and hover stability. The system includes a main diverter that connects to a jet output port. Located inside the diverter is a 4 way splitter that divides the diverter into four equal volumes. Attached to the diverter and adjacent to the two upper volumes are two front upward extending ducts. Attached to the diverter and adjacent to the two lower volumes are two rear upward extending ducts. Each duct includes an upper bend that and diagonally aligned nozzle opening. Each duct has only two bends which help vector the exhaust downward in an efficient manner. The diameter of each duct is consistent to allow their entire length to maximize air flow.
