fully variable nozzle
1Variable geometry turbocharger — Variable geometry turbochargers (VGTs) are a family of turbochargers, usually designed to allow the effective aspect ratio (sometimes called A/R Ratio) of the turbo to be altered as conditions change. This is done because optimum aspect ratio at… …
2variable-geometry nozzle — A nozzle whose diameter can be changed. It is normally in the shape of a convergent nozzle at subsonic speeds and of a convergent divergent nozzle at supersonic speeds, or when a reheat is on. A variable nozzle permits the use of after burner… …
3Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket — Artist s impression of several VASIMR engines propelling a craft through space The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) is an electro magnetic thruster for spacecraft propulsion. It uses radio waves to ionize and heat a… …
4Variable Cycle Engine — In a Variable Cycle Engine (VCE) the engine cycle is deliberately modified from that which would occur under normal circumstances.The next generation of Supersonic transport (SST) may require some form of VCE. SST engines require a high Specific… …
5Propelling nozzle — A propelling nozzle is a component of a jet engine that is found at the tail of the engine that operates to form an exhaust jet and to maximise the use of the exhaust gas s energy throughout the engine so that the maximum overall thrust is… …
6pop-open nozzle — A nozzle on a jet engine with a variable geometry outlet. This type of nozzle often is found on engines with afterburning. The nozzle generally is fully open (the largest dimension) at idle and progressively closes to the fully closed position at …
7Turbojet — Turbojets are the oldest kind of general purpose jet engines. Two engineers, Frank Whittle in the United Kingdom and Hans von Ohain in Germany, developed the concept independently during the late 1930s, although credit for the first turbojet is… …

9Turbocharger — A turbocharger, or turbo, is an air compressor used for forced induction of an internal combustion engine. Like a supercharger, the purpose of a turbocharger is to increase the mass of air entering the engine to create more power. However, a… …
