Abstract
A reaction jet control system for a flying vehicle, the system comprising pairs (3, 4 and 5, 6) of jet reaction nozzles with associated gas flow supply ducts, the duct between two nozzles (3, 4) of any one pair including a first gas diverter valve (11B) and the duct between the pairs of nozzles including a second gas diverter valve (11A). This arrangement ensures accurate balancing of the gas flows between the nozzles and gives economy in use of the fuel supply.
