THRUST VECTORING EXHAUST NOZZLE FOR AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18202709 titled 'THRUST VECTORING EXHAUST NOZZLE FOR AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an assembly for an aircraft propulsion system. - The assembly includes a bladed rotor and a thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle. - The bladed rotor can rotate around an axis. - The thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle is designed to direct gas propelled by the bladed rotor. - During the first mode, the gas is directed along a first direction, which is either parallel to the axis or angularly offset by no more than five degrees. - During the second mode, the gas is directed along a second direction, which is angularly offset from the axis by at least seventy-five degrees. - The thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle has a larger exit area during the second mode compared to the first mode.
Original Abstract Submitted
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a bladed rotor and a thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle. The bladed rotor is rotatable about an axis. The thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle is configured to direct gas propelled by the bladed rotor out of the aircraft propulsion system along a first direction during a first mode and along a second direction during a second mode. The first direction is parallel with the axis or angularly offset from the axis by no more than five degrees. The second direction is angularly offset from the axis by at least seventy-five degrees. The thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle has a first exit area during the first mode and a second exit area during the second mode that is greater than the first exit area.
