Nonaxisymmetric nozzle technology program - An overviewNonaxisymmetric nozzles, with in-flight thrust vectoring and/or reversing capabilities, provide the potential for substantial gains in fighter aircraft performance, maneuvering, survivability and ground handling. This paper presents an overview of some of the current programs to develop nonaxisymmetric nozzle technology for future aircraft applications. The initial phase of this program, which consists of a series of subscale model tests, engine/nozzle studies, system integration studies and simulation studies, has been initiated. Successful completion of this program will allow designers of future aircraft to consider, with high confidence, the integration of nonaxisymmetric nozzle concepts to improve aircraft mission performance effectiveness, survivability and cost.
