Abstract: A nozzle for use with a rotor blade for a reaction drive type helicopter includes a first wall, a second wall opposing the first wall, and sidewalls extending between the first wall and the second wall enclosing a cavity having an upstream end and a downstream end. The nozzle includes an inlet section for receiving a gasflow at the upstream end. The distance between the first wall and the second wall reduces to a throat downstream of the inlet section. An expansion section extending from the throat, downstream thereof.
