Claims
- 1. In a V/STOL aircraft having a thrust producing means which includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle for discharging thrust producing jets and being disposed laterally offset to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft, and on opposite sides of a vertical plane running through the longitudinal axis, said first and second nozzles respectively having first and second bent pipes;
- means for mounting said first bent pipe for pivoting said first bent pipe about a first axis extending parallel to said longitudinal axis and on one side of said plane to thereby direct a first jet exiting from the first nozzle at a first variable angle relative to the vertical plane;
- means for mounting said second bent pipe for pivoting said second bent pipe about a second axis extending parallel to the said longitudinal axis and on the other side of said plane to thereby direct a second jet exiting from the second nozzle at a second variable angle relative to the vertical plane; and
- means for operating at least one means for pivoting the bent pipes of the nozzle to a different degree, to direct the jets in different directions to obtain a thrust component, compensating and counteracting an interfering roll moment of the aircraft as produced otherwise.
