Experimental Study on the Performance Characteristics of Thrust Vectoring Nozzle of Transonic Aircraft
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In this study, the performance characteristics of a scaled thrust vectoring nozzle applicable to transonic aircraft were analyzed using a supersonic wind tunnel test facility.The investigation was conducted through jet flow Schlieren visualization and thrust measurements at various nozzle deflection angles.The test nozzle was a 0.264 scale model based on the length of a virtual aircraft engine.The nozzle exit had a rectangular shape with an aspect ratio of 5, and thrust vectoring was achieved by a secondary flap at deflection angles of 0°, 5°, 10°, and 15°.Experimental results confirmed that the designed scaled thrust vectoring nozzle achieved effective thrust vectoring under an NPR of 2.0 operating conditions.초
