ABSTRACT:
A vectorable nozzle includes a longitudinally extending upper fixed wall spaced upwardly and aftwardly of a longitudinally extending lower fixed wall and an aftwardly swept fixed ramp extending between the upper and lower fixed walls. The upper and lower fixed walls and the fixed ramp extend transversely between first and second fixed sidewalls. An outer nozzle wall is spaced apart from the upper and lower fixed walls and extends transversely between first and second fixed sidewalls. A nozzle flowpath is defined between the upper and lower fixed walls and the outer nozzle wall and the first and second fixed sidewalls. A sideways pivotable ramp structure pivotally connected to the lower fixed wall and pivotable between the sidewalls includes a longitudinally extending upper pivotable wall spaced upwardly and aftwardly of a longitudinally extending lower pivotable wall and an aftwardly swept pivotable ramp extending between the upper and lower pivotable walls.
