A system for enhancing the thrust produced by an aircraft propulsion element having a propulsion fluid outlet includes a shroud element having an inlet, an outlet and a diffusing section positioned between the shroud element inlet and shroud element outlet. The shroud element is coupled to the aircraft such that the diffusing section is positioned directly downstream of the propulsion fluid outlet. At least one actuator is operable to rotate the shroud element about a first transverse axis of the shroud element and a second transverse axis of the shroud element.
