designed to contribute to the airframe structural stiffness. The nozzle vane box is airframe-mounted, with the vane box sidewalls serving as aircraft structure keel members. The VAVBN (Image 6) provides directional control of the LiftFan thrust vector and an additional effector to the VIGVs for turndown. Turndown refers to the commanded position of the lift fan inlet guide vanes used to control lift fan thrust. Three VAVBN vanes are driven by dual-tandem, linear, hydraulic actuators. Drive is transferred to the other three vanes through bar linkages. With this system, nozzle thrust may be directed in an arc of 41.75-104 degrees (fore/aft aircraft coordinate system), at a rate of 40 degrees per second. Independent control of the three VAVBN actuators provides the capability to vary the nozzle throat area independent of the vector angle. VIGV and VAVBN area variation are both used to control LiftFan performance, manage the LiftFan stall margin, and minimize thrust- thrust split coupling effects. Thrust split is defined as the ratio of main engine thrust over lift fan thrust, typically used to represent the propulsion system pitching moment applied to the aircraft. Image 6 F-35 VAVBN as seen from below. 5. Roll Post Nozzle Development The F-35B STOVL lift system uses roll nozzles in each wing to provide roll control in powered-lift operation. The roll nozzle controls thrust by varying the nozzle area using two hinged flaps. Unlike the reaction control systems on legacy vertical and/or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft, the F-35 roll posts produce about 10 percent of the vertical thrust through redirected engine fan air. The port and starboard side roll post systems are part-number common and interchangeable, providing improved maintenance flexibility. Actuation for the nozzle flaps is provided by a twin- motor, hydraulic, rotary actuator. External, hydraulically actuated aircraft doors on the underside of the wing are opened in powered-lift operation to provide an exit aperture for roll post thrust. A key challenge in transitioning to the F-35B was providing adequate roll control authority and rate for store asymmetries and fuel imbalance. The roll post nozzles were positioned as far outboard as the internal wing structure would allow to maximize the moment arm. Main engine fan air to the roll posts was increased to the extent possible while maintaining adequate flow to cool the exhaust liner. Architectural changes in full-authority digital engine control were made to minimize the time delay from roll moment command to roll nozzle actuator response. 6. 3BSM Development The original design for the primary nozzle on the ASTOVL was a two-dimensional single expansion ramp nozzle. In this design, one nozzle flap is longer than the other. The nozzle vectors the primary thrust by deflecting the upper Approved for public release 5/8/18, JSF18-365 25
