Abstract
An axisymmetric, converging-diverging exhaust nozzle swiveled by a guided vectoring ring (20). The guides comprise three axial apertures (44) which are each located in a base firmly joined to relatively fixed structure and of which the center planes intersect along the longitudinal axis of the turbojet-engine. The side walls (45) of the apertures (43) guide three mutually equidistant spherical rollers (41) fastened to radial stubs (40) firmly affixed to the vectoring ring (20).
