The author reports on investigations on the economy of thrust deflectors used to control the thrust vector of S/VTOL aircraft. First, the system of jet deflection is analyzed. Fundamental requirements are then formulated and factors of efficiency, such as thrust coefficient and pressure loss coefficient, are defined. The second part deals with details of the special technique of jet deflection tests, and communicates results obtained from these tests on different deflection systems. Some essential directives to appreciate and ameliorate thrust deflectors have already been obtained. (Author)
