Abstract
The roll control of V/STOL aircraft is augmented by deriving a controlled, transverse thrust component from the lift producing engine. This is accomplished by redirecting a jet to introduce such a component not compensated by a counteracting jet or jet component of the craft. Jets can be redirected through pivoting of bent pipe sections of gimbal-hung nozzles.
