Abstract
A multidirectional thrust-vectoring device for a nozzle, including a fixed and pivoting part. The device includes elastic elements constituting a flexible articulation. The elastic elements form two elastic planes, the first of which is fixed on the fixed part and the second on the pivoting part. The elements are assembled in twos by means of a connecting plate and are distributed in two sets of two elements each on the periphery of the nozzle. Jacks associated with each two-set group allow the nozzle to be turned in the direction desired.
