Multiple Nozzle Concepts in a Single Engine

摘要

Today, thrust vectoring has become a very important research subject which can dramatically change the way aircraft maneuvering in the future and their performance. This paper tries to present a unique approach to this topic. This paper highlights a concept defined as SIMO (Single Inlet Multiple Outlet) in detail. This can be explained by having multiple nozzles for exhaust purpose than those conventional one or two nozzles as we know of presently. This idea may yet not be able to apply directly to VTOL (Vertical Take off & Landing), but can be applied very well to change thrust direction of the aircraft effectively including thrust reversal and hence reducing the dependability on the primary control surface to great extent.
