Why Do Fifth-Gen Fighter Jets Use “Thrust Vectoring”?
Thrust vectoring—essentially redirecting the plane’s exhaust flow—allows modern fighters to quickly change direction, giving ...
As with so many military aircraft designs, the A-6 Intruder, known originally as the YA2F-1, had some pretty ambitious features that never really panned out. The jet's swiveling exhausts were one of ...

How fighter pilots use “post-stall maneuvering” in air combat
Post-stall maneuvering” gives a plane excellent maneuverability—but the equipment needed to boost it comes with tradeoffs, as ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
We’re not entirely sure what to call this one. It’s got the usual trappings of a drone, but with only a single rotor it clearly can’t be called by any of the standard multicopter names. Helicopter?
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 ...
