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 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 ...

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 ...

-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 ...

Few pilots have had an opportunity to fly China’s new J-20 “Mighty Dragon” aircraft, but one of the first test pilots to operate the fifth-generation aircraft said it could be upgraded with a 2D ...

Here’s What You Need to Remember: 2D nozzles are rectangular and 3D nozzles are circular, meaning that 2D nozzles have better radar and infrared stealth capabilities than the 3D nozzles. Few pilots ...

The internet has already taught us that an electric surfboard is a great way to get around on the water while looking like an absolute badass. [RCLifeOn] is continuing to push the boat forward in this ...

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 ...
