| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Fluidic Thrust Vectoring system (FTV system) is expected to contribute for reducing fuel consumption and improving maneuverability of an aircraft. In this study, several new ideas of FTV system that work under subsonic flight conditions were suggested, and the best one was chosen after evaluating performance of each suggested idea with numerical simulations and experiments.
An FTV nozzle is manufactured basing on the idea and equipped with a radio-controlled small airplane. Evaluation of the flight performance of FTV nozzle is carried out by using this model plane. The flight tests have shown that the FTV system can be used as a practical method for controlling aircrafts.
