Abstract:
1. An outlet nozzle for a jet engine, comprising a gas intake and a gas outlet, at least one opening being provided through a nozzle boundary-wall for injection of a fluid into the nozzle in a direction perpendicular to one plane to control a direction of a gas flow from the jet engine so that vectoring occurs substantially tangentially in the plane, wherein a first opening configuration is provided through the nozzle boundary wall on a first side of a nozzle center line and a second opening configuration is provided through the nozzle boundary wall on a second side of the nozzle center line, and at least one of the first and second opening configurations has a substantial extension in an axial direction of the nozzle in order to permit selective injection of fluid through the first and second opening configurations to a varying extent in the axial direction of the nozzle, wherein the nozzle has an oblong, fixed geometry inner cross-sectional shape at the gas outlet in a lateral direction thereof, the fixed geometry inner cross-sectional shape having two long sides and two short sides.
