Abstract
A hinge for connecting a convergent seal and a divergent seal in a thrust vectoring nozzle has an intermediate yoke. This yoke carries seals contacting the convergent and divergent seals. The axis of the transverse and radial pins are longitudinally offset. The convergent seal slides in an arcuate path around the axis of the transverse pin, while the divergent seal slides in a arcuate path around the axis of the radial pin. Further, the radial pin is located toward the divergent seal side of the transverse pin.
