Abstract

An aircraft (10) comprises trailing edge flaps (17), a wing mounted propulsor (26) positioned such that the flaps (17) are located in a slipstream of the first propulsor in use when deployed. The aircraft (10) further comprises a thrust vectorable propulsor configured to selectively vary the exhaust efflux vector of the propulsor in at least one plane. The thrust vectorable propulsor comprises a ducted fan (30) configurable between a first mode, in which the fan (30) provides net forward thrust to the aircraft (10), and a second mode in which the fan (30) provides net drag to the aircraft. (10). The fan (30) is positioned to ingest a boundary layer airflow in use when operating in the first mode.
