The front side of the ear shaft 121 located on the front side of the vector nozzle 12 of the two sets of ear shafts 121 is provided with an internal spline hole, and the part with the external spline at the output end of the steering gear 14 is inserted into the internal spline hole. The steering gear 14 drives the vector nozzle 12 to rotate around the ear shaft 121 through the ear shaft 121, thereby changing the up and down inclination angle of the right side air outlet of the vector nozzle 12.
[0020] A fan stator casing 21 is fixedly arranged inside the nacelle shell 1, and a notch is penetrated through the top of the nacelle shell 1.
