Experimental results from a swivel nozzle thrust deflector test program are presented. The deflector was installed behind a 36-inch fan with a tip turbine hot gas drive. The maximum nozzle pressure ratio was 1.2. Nozzle thrust and flow coefficients are presented for a range of vectoring angles. The results are also compared to small scale cold flow test results. The comparison suggests a need for accurate simulation of nozzle entry pressure and temperature profiles on model tests.
