Fluidic thrust vectoring and control refer to a suite of aerodynamic techniques that achieve directional control of engine thrust by modulating the flow field through the injection of secondary ...

-Thrust vectoring gives fighters a party trick with real teeth: by swiveling engine exhaust, jets can pivot, claw for lift, tighten turns, even flirt with a hover. -The F-22, Su-30/35, Su-57—and ...

As an experimental Su-27 variant, the Su-27LL-PS tested advanced 2D thrust vectoring for enhanced maneuverability, providing critical insights into supermaneuverable flight dynamics, material ...

Key Points and Summary - In the late 1990s, the U.S. Air Force, NASA, and Lockheed Martin studied the X-44 MANTA—a tailless, delta-winged concept that utilized multi-axis thrust vectoring instead of ...

Summary and Key Points: The X-44 MANTA was an experimental aircraft developed by the U.S. Air Force based on the F-22 Raptor, designed without traditional tail surfaces to reduce radar visibility and ...

FAA regulations require drone enthusiasts and commercial operators to equip their unmanned aircraft with approved remote identification (RID) capability. Following the FAA’s deadline on March 24, 2024 ...

ZHUHAI, China—An AVIC-owned J-10B testbed demonstrated in a Nov. 6 flying display showed China’s new mastery of extreme aerial maneuverability aided by an experimental thrust vectoring control system.
