ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing an operable divergent/convergent variable geometry exhaust nozzle for jet propelled aircraft. A multiplicity of hinged, overlapping, nozzle blades circumferentially surround the exhaust nozzle thereby providing a divergent cylindrical exhaust nozzle that may be convergingly reduced to a conical configuration by action of a remotely controlled solenoid.
