ABSTRACT:
A vectored thrust compressor for use in remote controlled aircraft comprising a housing having a forwardly facing air intake is disclosed. Two pair of vectorable thrust nozzles connect to the housing and project from opposite sides of the housing. A first pair is disposed at the forward end of the housing and a second pair is located at the aft end. Each thrust nozzle is adjustable such that the thrust nozzles are rotatable simultaneously by remote control. A first ducted-fan is located in the forward end of the housing and is connected to a drive shaft. A portion of the air flow generated by the first ducted-fan is diverted through the forward pair of thrust nozzles. A second ducted-fan is situated in the aft end of the housing, forward of the second pair of thrust nozzles, and is also connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft may be turned by a conventional engine.
