Abstract
A thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle structure for an engine, such as a ramjet, rocket or turbojet, which generates thrust by expulsion of gaseous fuel combustion products along a thrust axis is described which comprises a generally axisymmetric housing defined along a central thrust axis including a wall structure defining an exhaust duct, and an axially spaced radially inwardly convergent portion, throat and radically outwardly divergent portion, and at least one airfoil disposed on the wall structure of the divergent portion and mounted for rotation about an axis substantially perpendicular to the thrust axis.
