The patent concerns a system for providing a rocket powered vehicle with complete thrust vectoring capabilities including a convergent-divergent nozzle attached to a motor casing by a flexible joint member. The flexible joint member includes a laminar structure comprising a series of alternate annular elastomeric and metallic shim members. The elastomeric shim members provide omnidirectional flexible capabilities for the nozzle. Integrally connected to the nozzle is a hydraulically controlled pintle member movable along the axis of the nozzle which varies the effective cross-sectional area of the throat of the nozzle and thereby varies the magnitude of the resulting thrust.
