Zusammenfassung:Aircraft jet engine having a vectoring discharge for pitch and yaw control purposes including means for maintaining such control during low thrust or reversing jet operation. A vectoring nozzle is arranged on the exit of the jet tube in the manner of a ball joint for universal swiveling and the lateral and vertical control obtained thereby. Openings are provided for both the inner and outer portion of the cooperating spherical members such that when the vectoring nozzle swivels on the jet pipe more or less of the openings on the respective sides thereof come into register with each other. By directing the discharge from said openings in a reversing direction, same will function as reversing jets when the nozzle is closed and by swiveling thereof such discharge can be directed to one side or the other of the aircraft to obtain the desired directional control.
