Thrust-vectoring makes impossible maneuvers possible. The huge, powerful jets can perform extremely tight turns that ...

Thrust vectoring—essentially redirecting the plane’s exhaust flow—allows modern fighters to quickly change direction, giving them an edge in close combat.

Fluidic thrust vectoring nozzles represent a promising approach in aerospace propulsion, utilising the controlled injection of secondary flows to manipulate the primary exhaust stream. This innovative ...

NASA's F/A-18 (left) and X-31 are among the airplanes used to gather data for thrust-vectoring. NASA Dryden Flight Research Center Remember the scene in the movie Top Gun when Navy pilot Pete ...

In view of the control effects of fluidic thrust vector technology for low-speed aircraft at high altitude/low density and low altitude/high density are studied. The S-A model of FLUENT software is ...

Having received permission from Austrian authorities to begin outdoor flight testing on its remarkable CycloRotor-propelled technology demonstrator, CycloTech has announced noise testing results for ...

ILA presents itself as a platform for cutting-edge aerospace technologies, and one of the innovations looking to take off at the show is a vertical thrust vectoring hybrid rotor. Its developer, ...

Think about thrust vectoring and the image that probably springs to mind is that of an experimental fighter wowing the crowds at an air show, as the pilot pulls off seemingly impossible post-stall ...

One of the most exciting evolving niches within unmanned aircraft systems and personal aerial vehicles is that of hybrid Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft, which provide a middle ground ...
