ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A nozzle for a jet stream in which the rear edge of the nozzle has a number of notches spaced there- along to widen the jet stream while directing the jet stream rearwardly of the nozzle. Each notch has a narrow front apex and a rear opening substantially wider than the apex/ and each notch widens substantially smoothly and progressively from its apex to its rear opening, each notch having sides which at least over a major portion of their length diverge from each other at an angle of at least 60 degrees, and preferably at least 90 degrees. The nozzle will commonly blow into a diffuser to provide thrust augmentation but may also be used simply to blow over a flap, or it may be used without any diffusers or flaps, simply to provide noise reduction. So long as the notch divergence angle is wide enough, loss of nozzle efficiency is minimized, and when a diffuser is used, thrust augmentation is increased. In another embodiment, fairings are placed between the notches to guide and confine the flow to the notches, permitting a large reduction in the notch angle. - 1 -
