| Abstract: | A solution is given to the variation problem of constructing asymmetric plane nossles which realize the maximum moment relative to some point. The contours of the nozzle are assumed to be noninteracting. The method of the undetermined control contour is used 1]. The solution of this problem contains as a special case the solution to the problem of constructing a nozzle of maximum thrust, including also the case of a given lifting force 1–3]. It is shown that the construction of a nozzle of maximum moment under additional conditions on the thrust and the lifting force, or on the moment relative to another point, reduces to the construction of a nozzle of maximun moment relative to some auxiliary point.Translated from Izvestiya Akademi Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 148–152, September–October, 1984.The author thanks A.
