An outlet nozzle for a jet engine has a gas intake and a gas outlet, at least one opening being provided through the nozzle boundary wall for the injection of a fluid into the nozzle in a direction perpendicular to one plane, for the purpose of controlling the direction of a gas flow from the jet engine so that vectoring occurs substantially tangentially in this plane. A first opening configuration is provided through the nozzle boundary wall on a first side of the nozzle center line and a second opening configuration is provided through the nozzle boundary wall on a second side of the nozzle center line. At least one of said first and second opening configurations has a substantial extension in the axial direction of the nozzle, in order to permit selective injection of the fluid through said opening configuration to a varying extent in the axial direction of the nozzle.

Outlet nozzle for a jet engine, an aircraft comprising the outlet nozzle and a method for controlling a gas flow from the jet engine

The invention relates to an arrangement for propelling an aircraft comprising a jet engine and an outlet nozzle arranged downstream of the jet engine. The jet engine is of a type which generates an internal core flow and an external fan flow. A part of the outlet nozzle has an internal surface which defines a gas duct for the fan flow. The aforementioned part of the outlet nozzle includes a wall structure that is arranged at a distance from the internal surface such that it separates the gas duct for the fan flow from an internal gas duct for the core flow.

Arrangement for propelling an aircraft, aircraft and outlet nozzle for a jet engine

A propulsion system for a craft includes two jet engines which are arranged parallel to one another. The system further includes an inlet and/or outlet device for each jet engine. Each device includes a duct for carrying a gas, the duct having a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The gas outlet is arranged offset in relation to the gas inlet transversely to the longitudinal direction of the duct, so that the jet engine is hidden from external view.

Propulsion system, aircraft comprising the propulsion system and an outlet device for a jet engine

A fuel injector () having a chamber () with a fuel inlet () and a plurality of fuel outlets (), and including a fuel distributor () that is arranged in the chamber () for the purpose of distributing fuel introduced into the chamber () via the fuel inlet () to the outlets (). The fuel distributor () includes a generally rotary symmetric distributor body ().
