Abstract
An exhaust section of a reaction engine, especially for aircraft, including a fixed pipe and a nozzle pipe carried by the fixed pipe. Pins project from each pipe into slots in the other pipe, and each of a plurality of actuating elements extends between, and is pivoted to, the exteriors of both pipes. The actuating elements are adjustable lengthwise to pivot the nozzle pipe with respect to the fixed pipe. There may be four pairs of pins and slots, and four actuating elements. Each actuating element may include two cooperating actuating members, one of the members being pivoted to the fixed pipe and the other member being pivoted to the nozzle pipe. The actuating members may be a hydraulic piston/cylinder device or a threaded spindle and nut arrangement. Means are provided for operating the actuating elements of each diametrically-opposed pair in opposite directions. The pins and slots may be carried by supporting arms projecting longitudinally from the pipes.
