Abstract
A suspension system for a pivotal nozzle of a jet propelled vehicle having a gas generator operable to effect propulsion of the vehicle, the system comprising a plurality of actuators connected to the exhaust nozzle and operable to effect pivotal movement thereof to steer the vehicle in a desired direction. Each actuator comprises a movable member connectible on one side to a source of fluid power to effect nozzle movement with the other side of the member being interconnected with said other side of each other actuator movable member to form a fluid suspension for the nozzle. In use, the suspension is pressurized to produce a force acting on the nozzle in a direction opposite to the load imposed on the nozzle by the gas from the gas generator acting thereon.
