METHOD OF CONTROL OVER AIRCRAFT JET THRUST VECTOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F02K9/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method comprises control over jet engine thrust vector, fuel flow running out from combustion chamber along Laval nozzle, lengthwise duplex control electromagnets mounted at nozzle outer expanded section, current MHD-generator installed at the nozzle throat, current stabiliser and rectifier and aircraft control system that controls said electromagnets. Control over jet engine thrust vector is ensured by deflection of plasma flow running out from combustion chambers with respect to nozzle mirror axis by electromagnetic field induced by control electromagnets. Plasma consists of positive-charge ions and negative-charge electrons. Note here that mass of ions is several orders of magnitude higher than that of electrons. This defines the thrust vector by the direction of positive ion flow.

EFFECT: simplified aircraft design, decreased weight and overall dimensions of jet engine.
