A thrust deflecting device for deflecting a thrust stream is disclosed, which includes a flap system having a plurality of deflecting flaps, each of which is pivotable around its yaw axis, the flap system being situated between parallel control surfaces such as baffle plates which, together with the flap system, form a box structure, which is pivotable around a pivot axis running in the direction of the transverse axis for the purpose of deflecting the thrust stream in the pitch direction, an aircraft engine also being disclosed.

A flow vectoring turbofan engine employs a fixed geometry fan sleeve and core cowl forming a nozzle incorporating an asymmetric convergent/divergent (con-di) and/or curvature section which varies angularly from a midplane for reduced pressure in a first operating condition to induce flow turning and axially symmetric equal pressure in a second operating condition for substantially axial flow.

An exhaust assembly for a turboprop engine, the assembly having: a primary exhaust nozzle disposed at an aft end of an engine core of the turboprop engine; a secondary exhaust nozzle extending aft from the primary exhaust nozzle to an aft end of the secondary exhaust nozzle, a movable panel disposed in the aft end of the secondary exhaust nozzle and movable to decrease an area of the secondary exhaust nozzle.
