Title:

An Improved Fluidic Thrust Vector Control Device for Nozzles With Non-Circular Geometries

Value Proposition:

FLUIDIC THRUST VECTOR CONTROL DEVICE FOR COMPLEX NOZZLE GEOMETRIES SUITABLE FOR

  • Engine exhaust nozzles with non-circular exit geometries
  • Operating at high subsonic Mach numbers of 0.7-0.9
  • Pre-fixed angled twin deflector plates of device occupy very less space
Summary Application:
  • Defence
  • Aerospace
  • The global thrust vector control market is projected to reach approximately USD
    23.83 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of over 8.7%
Advantages:
  • Needs minimum mass flow rates of approximately 1.33% and 5.5%to achieve
    primary jet deflections in of 7oin yaw and 13opitchplanes
  • Capable of controlling the direction of the exhaust jet in both pitch and yaw using
    secondary injection around the periphery of the primary nozzle exit plane
  • Reduce aircraft after body signature thereby improving stealth capability of the
    aircraft
  • Not manipulate flow inside the nozzle
  • Free from any mechanical actuators
  • Lower cost and compact design
