Good Morning all Respected Friends, Colleagues and seniors..when my Respected Director, of my company, took me to show, a great mechanism, was a jet nozzle, with thrust vectoring capability, and nozzle expansion, he explained to me it as some thing tougher machine to make. yes indeed, it was incorporated with 60 tiny syringe like hydraulic actuators, backed up by, 4 massive hydraulic pistons, and a complicated pump and motor. but in final conclusion, its aim was nothing, but to alter the jet stream in to a desired position, with nozzle velocity.
and after seeing all function, he asked me, Roopa, can we make a mechanism, like this ..? is it possible..? it must be within a 7 inch Dia, and must be controlled with not hydraulics but only with mechanical method. why not..? we must. and its not nessesary to use such complicated actuators to reach such result.
" if so, you never copy this like this, instead make one with your own design.." sure sir..
i am so sad that knowing, a group of final engineering students are not capable to make one like this..they spend a big money, that with that money we can buy a mid size sedan..the purpose of this mechanism, is to teach the aeronautical students..
so i realized this one..only used three simple gear boxes, and a simple wireless controller, as the instruction, as it must work with FBW. so cooll...make one your own..its too simple..and fascinating...
