Abstract
A debris management vehicle is disclosed that has a vehicle frame and a fan assembly coupled to the vehicle frame. The fan assembly has a rotor axis oriented obliquely to a horizontal plane. A nozzle defines a nozzle inlet and a nozzle outlet. The nozzle inlet is in fluid communication with an outlet of the fan assembly. The nozzle outlet is rotatable about a nozzle axis that is orthogonal to the horizontal plane.
