Abstract
An exhaust nozzle assembly provides fluidic thrust vectoring of the primary stream to enhance aircraft maneuverability. The exhaust nozzle assembly includes a cooling air passage that supplies cooling air to a plurality of cooling holes that generate an insulating layer of air. A vector slot injects cooling airflow into the exhaust passage normal to the primary stream. A cover plate partially blocks the vector slot to direct cooling airflow into the exhaust passage that in turn directs portions of the primary stream.
