Thrust vectoring is one way to control aerial vehicles. It’s become more popular as technology advances, finding applications on fifth-generation fighter aircraft, as well as long being used in space ...

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

The new stealthy nozzle has been installed on the left engine of the T-50-2 prototype, the same used to test the new AL-51F engine. A Russian Su-57 fighter has been finally equipped with a new ...

Thrust vectoring is the technology that allows an aircraft to manipulate the direction of its engine's exhaust rather than just pointing it straight backward. By using movable nozzles to redirect ...

After nearly two decades of focused development, a Chinese research team has finally proven ...

A couple of weeks ago, an experienced Eurofighter Typhoon industry test pilot wrote to The Aviationist to respond to a Lockheed F-35 test pilot who, talking to Flight’s Dave Majumdar had claimed that ...

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 ...

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 ...
