The nozzle converts the potential energy of the gas into kinetic energy of the flow as it leaves the engine.

Main requirements:

  • High efficiency and dependability
  • Minimum size and weight

Our experience: The thrust vectoring nozzle is a proprietary high technology product that vastly improves the maneuverability of aircraft. The crucial difference between the TVN and the traditional nozzles is that the new design features a far superior all-direction system of the thrust vector control, as it can be deflected in any direction in all flight modes including the afterburning mode.

Further improvements: To employ new materials including ceramic metal composites to reduce the weight of the nozzle; to increase the temperature limit of operation; to increase the nozzle deflection angle to ±20o.
