ABSTRACT:
A duct fixed to a vehicle propelled through an ambient fluid medium is innally provided with spaced channel passages from which the fluid medium is ejected under pressure tangentially of local duct surfaces through Coanda affected slots at the trailing edge of the duct from which only the ejection of the fluid medium occurs. The supply of the pressurized fluid medium under selective control is limited to different angular segments of the channel passages in order to modify the flow stream through the duct so as to perform certain functions such as thrust control and steerage control effects enhancing vehicle maneuverability.
