ABSTRACT:
A flight maneuverable gas turbine exhaust nozzle is provided with cooperating variable internal converging-diverging flaps to provide area control. A flap downstream of the converging-diverging flap provides flight maneuver vectoring as well as external exhaust expansion control. A vertical take-off and landing capability is provided by deployment of a rotating bonnet-type deflector which diverts the exhaust stream downward around one side of the exhaust nozzle. The nozzle throat rotates with the deflector to produce efficient turning of the exhaust stream.
