ABSTRACT:
A failsafe nozzle actuating system for an aircraft gas turbine engine axisymmetric vectoring exhaust nozzle has a vectoring ring operably linked to a plurality of pivotal flaps which are circumferentially disposed about a nozzle centerline and bounding an exhaust gas flowpath in the nozzle. The failsafe nozzle actuating system has at least two independently operable first and second vectoring actuating systems including first and second groups of actuators operably connected to the vectoring ring and first and second failsafe control means to control power to the first and second groups of actuators, respectively. The first group of vectoring actuators is interdigitated with the second group of second vectoring actuators around the nozzle. Either of the two groups of actuators are operable to actuate the nozzle when the other group is failsafed.
