Multiaxis thrust-vectoring nozzles can furnish substantial combat performance gains for military aircraft; in pursuit of these gains, NASA-Langley has conducted an extensive experimental research program encompassing both static and freestream performance evaluations for numerous multiaxis thrust-vectoring nozzle concepts using air-powered simulation models. An evaluation is presently made of a selection of these experimental results. Two-dimensional and axisymmetric convergent-divergent configurations and hybrid configurations, with and without postexit vanes, have been studied.
