Notes:

For a conformal fluidic nozzle in a new vehicle, special attention is required to assess the bleed flow, nozzle ducting and the structural provisions for integration. Depending on the aspect ratio of the nozzle, structural changes around the engine and nozzle, engine modification to provide bleed flow and impacts on other bleed driven systems must be assessed to integrate this technology on an existing vehicle.
