-15- VTOL Exhaust Nozzle With Veer Flap Extension Abstract A gas turbine engine exhaust nozzle assembly having vertical thrust capability comprises a two- dimensional converging/diverging nozzle and a veer flap for forward thrust operation and a rotatable hood type deflector for vertical thrust operation, wherein the forward edge of the veer flap is attached to the downstream edge of the deflector hood. During forward thrust operation, the hood and rear edge of the divergent flap portion of the converging/diverging nozzle are moved synchronously to maintain the rear edge of the divergent flap portion and the front edge of the veer flap adjacent each other such that the veer flap is aligned with and acts as an extension of the divergent flap portion of the converging/ diverging nozzle. Preferably, means are provided to independently trim the orientation of the veer flap to maximize thrust. A movable ventral flap defines the nozzle throat between itself and the deflector hood when the hood is deployed for vertical thrust.
