Abstract

748,983. Controlling jet-propelled aircraft. SOC. NATIONALE D'ETUDE ET DE CONSTRUCTION DE MOTEURS D'AVIATION. Feb. 2, 1954 [Feb. 26, 1953], No. 3092/54. Class 4. [Also in Group XXVI] An aircraft having jet-propulsion plant has means to act on an annular section of the propulsion gases to tend to cause a change of direction or rotation of said section of gases to produce thereby a force couple to roll the aircraft about its longitudinal axis. The propulsion nozzle 3 aft of the turbine 1 comprises an annular passage enclosed between an outer casing 8 and a centre core 9. Blades 5, mounted for rotation on spigots 6, 7 are mounted diametrically opposite one another within the annular passage and they are geared for rotation in opposite directions by gears 10, 11 driven by a motor 12. Operation of the motor in one direction or the other will deflect the blades 5 which will react on the propulsion gases and roll the aircraft about its longitudinal axis. In alternative embodiments (not shown) the blades 5 may be located between fixed blades or fairings secured to the wall members 8 and 9 or they may extend only partially across the width of each annular passage adjacent either the wall 8 or the wall 9. Further, the forward portion of each blade may be fitted with hinged trailing flaps or pivoted spoilers or fixed blades may be formed on opposite surfaces with ejector nozzles, selectively supplied with pressure gas, preferably from the engine compressor.
