  • Patent number: 4993638
    Abstract: An exhaust nozzle assembly for vectoring the thrust of the exhaust gases from a turbojet engine is disclosed wherein the exhaust gases are vectored by an assembly that is separate from the flaps that are utilized to adjust the cross-sectional area of the exhaust nozzle. The thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle assembly has a moveable thrust vectoring assembly comprised of inner and outer vectoring members, each of which have a generally annular configuration. The vectoring members are pivotally attached to the exhaust nozzle so as to pivot about an axis extending generally perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the exhaust duct.
