ABSTRACT:
A thrust vector control apparatus for selective deployment of a vane within n exhaust stream has the vane mounted on the periphery of an exhaust nozzle for pivotable movement between a retracted position without the stream and an inserted position within the stream. A pivotally mounted link assembly is used with an actuator to urge the vane into the stream. The link assembly becomes locked in place upon the full insertion of the vane. This locked position precludes unintended pivotal motion of the vane; however, rotational motion of the vane is still possible due to the pivotal connection of the link. A second actuator rotates the vane in the stream, thereby controlling the direction of the stream.
