ABSTRACT:
Elbow nozzles in VTOL aircraft engines, are highly stressed when operating, in that they act as high pressure vessels.The invention provides a means for varying the outlet area of such a nozzle without weakening its structure. A single flap is inserted inside the nozzle and connected to the nozzle extremity for pivoting about an axis which lies across the outlet between a position wherein its edges seal against the nozzle side and so restrict the nozzle outlet area and, a position wherein it lies parallel with a wall of the nozzle so that exhaust gas can pass both sides and out of a bigger outlet.
