Abstract

A variable cross-section nozzle of an aircraft has at least two movable parts enabling modification of the cross-section of the nozzle. A control device for the nozzle includes a system for regulating the engine, the system being connected to a control element which drives at least one electric motor which creates the movement of the movable parts, including an electric motor for each movable part and two mechanical transmission systems for each movable part connected only to the same electric motor.
