Abstract
A thrust vectoring axisymmetric convergent divergent variable exhaust nozzle is provided with a universally pivoting joint between the divergent and convergent flaps and actuating the linkage mechanisms for changing the divergent nozzle section from axisymmetrical to asymmetrical by pivoting the divergent flaps in the radial and tangential directions with respect to the axisymmetric nozzle centerline in a controlled manner.
