Abstract
Exit area control panels 18 are supported for movement at an angle with respect to the nozzle axis 12. A varying exit area is formed as actuator 26 axially positions the panels 18. In each exit area control panel 18, there is slidably supported a throat area control panel 28, driven by actuator 32. A sliding throat is achieved as the two panels 18,28 are moved in each quadrant. Yaw and pitch vectoring is accomplished with selective positioning of the two panels.
