A thrust vectoring structure is provided for VSTOL aircraft having a pressurized gas generator and at least one rearward facing outlet with an opening for discharging pressurized gas from the pressurized gas generator. The thrust vectoring structure has a plurality of horizontal dividers extending between the sides of the opening. A front flap is rotatably mounted adjacent the front edge of the dividers and a rear flap is rotatably mounted adjacent the rear edge of the dividers. The flaps are rotatable from a horizontal position to a vertical position. In the horizontal position the pressurized gas is directed rearwardly. In the vertical position the pressurized gas is directed downwardly in a number of discrete segmented jets. The flaps are further rotatable so that they diverge outwardly in either the horizontal or the vertical positions. In one embodiment, the top of the outlet is also rotatable toward or away from the bottom to vary the cross sectional area of the outlet.
