TLDR
In this paper, a double, thrust diverter valve assembly for a bypass engine applicable to the VTOL and V/STOL types of aircraft and having a by-pass annulus and fan for directing the flow of bypass air thereinto, is presented.Abstract:
A double, thrust diverter valve assembly for a by-pass engine applicable to the VTOL and V/STOL-types of aircraft and having a by-pass annulus and fan for directing the flow of bypass air thereinto, and in which an inflatable valve mechanism, operated from a compressed air source and mounted in a first, thrustaugmentation by-pass air flow-passage with a rearwardly-directed exhaust, is combined with a cascade valve mounted in a second, by-pass air flow-passage having a vertically-downward directed exhaust and thereby controlling the flow of by-pass air in the vertical flight mode.read more
