ABSTRACT:
A thrust vectoring and reversing exhaust nozzle structure for a gas turbine engine is described which comprises a rotatable flap mounted within the exhaust duct of the engine, and being rotatable about an axis of rotation extending transverse of the exhaust duct and substantially central of the flap, control means for rotating the flap between an open position allowing substantially unrestricted exhaust flow through the nozzle and a closed position substantially closing the exhaust duct, and a cascade of rotatable vanes in the engine housing structure operatively interconnected with the flap for rotation to an open position in response to rotation of the flap to the closed position.
