Abstract

1363174 Variable area jet propulsion nozzles GENERAL MOTORS CORP 21 Sept 1972 [1 Oct 1971] 43806/72 Heading F1J The invention relates to a variable convergentdivergent jet propulsion nozzle, the nozzle assembly comprising a set of convergent flaps 24 and a set of divergent flaps 32, the divergent flaps being pivotally connected to the convergent flaps at 31. The nozzle comprises a jet pipe 2 comprising an outer wall 3 and an inner wall 4, also a nozzle support ring 8. A ring member 15 is supported for axial movement by means of pairs of rollers 16 each pair of which engages within a channel section track 19 secured to the support ring 8. The ring member 15 is movable in a downstream direction (so as to move the flap members 24, 32 to the minimum area position shown in chain-dotted lines Fig.1) by means of actuators 22 which are pivotally mounted to fixed structure at 23. The convergent flap members 24 are pivotally connected at their upstream ends 26 to the ring member 15. The divergent flap members 32 are pivotally connected to the convergent members at the downstream ends of the latter at 31. Cam members 39 are pivotally connected to the divergent flap members at 38, each cam member being formed with pairs of cam grooves 42 which are engaged by rollers 43 carried by a member 44, each carrier member being secured to a rod member 46 which is pivotally mounted at its upstream end 48 to fixed structure. Thus as the convergent flaps together with the divergent flaps pivotally connected thereto at 31 are moved in a downstream direction by means of the actuators 22 acting on the ring member 15, the divergent flaps and so the downstream ends of the convergent flaps are caused to move inwardly to the position indicated by chain-lines in Fig. 1. The flap members move outwardly by the gaspressure within the nozzle when the actuators are retracted. The nozzle assembly comprises also a number of fairing flaps 50 each of which is secured to a box-section portion 35 of a divergent flap 32 by flanges 51. The forward end of each fairing flap 50 is received within the fixed annular fairing 12 being guided by means of rollers 52 engaging in tracks 54.
