AB  - In an aeroplane, in combination with an aerofoil, a control surface located at the trailing edge of said aerofoil, means mounting said control surface for movement from a normal neutral position in general conformity with the contour of said aerofoil into a controlling position deflected downwardly from the aerofoil, a jet engine, means supporting said jet engine at a location beneath the aerofoil and with the rear end of its tailpipe ahead of and sufficiently close to the control surface's location that the undeflected jet from the tailpipe would impinge the downwardly deflected control surface, a deflector movably mounted on said jet engine adjacent the tailpipe's rear end but normally substantially out of line with the jet from the tailpipe, and actuating means common to the control surface and to the deflector to move the deflector into position rearwardly of the tailpipe and such as will deflect the jet downwardly to clear the control surface, coincident with movement of the control surface into its downwardly deflected position.
