It took a long time due to the complicated motion of this model, but finally I can develop the new model of "Motor Driven Version", so I ed a photo of the prototype.
If you are interested in this version, please do not these [Phase 2, 3 & 4] and wait for a while.
Almost parts of [Phase 1] are used in this version.
"Motor Driven Version" is ed on 2021.6.16.
This is the Swivel Nozzle called 3 Bearing Swivel Nozzle (3BSN) for Jet Engine for the recent STOL Fighter.
For STOL, 3 Lifting Forces are used as follows;
[Front] “Lifting Fan Unit” driven by Engine.
[Sides] “Bleed Air Ducts” bleeding from Engine Compressor.
[Rear] “3 Bearing Swivel Nozzle” directed Engine Exhaust. --- ●This Model
Unfortunately I never see the actual unit, then this is designed only my imagination.
Swivel Nozzle for Jet Engine, 3 Bearing Type
This model was designed in order to understand what the elements are required and how to move to get STOL position.
A. Design points:
This model consists of 4 Phases to get my Target Model.
- Phase 1 - Basic Model. Each BRG can be turned individually by Knob. ●
- Phase 2 - #2 & 3 BRGs are geared to synchronize and can be turned by 2 Hands.
- Phase 3 - All BRGs are connected with Gearbox and can be turned by Single Knob.
- Phase 4 - Phase 4 + Additional GB. This is my Target Model to turn Single Lever.
[Note] For Phase 2~4 Model, Proto type model was made, but I am still considering improvement to absorb the big movement of #2 & 3 BRG Gear Shaft Axis.
These will be ed in near future.
