Article Main Points -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 ...

The Dornier Do-29 was an experimental aircraft designed to test vectored thrust for extreme STOL performance, featuring two Lycoming engines driving controllable-pitch propellers that could tilt up to ...

The U.S. F-22 and China’s J-20 were built for the same mission—win the air-to-air fight—but they come from different eras and ...

Helicopter-like drones are extremely nimble, but their fixed-wing counterparts aren't so lucky. Chinese researchers have a way to bring some of that agility to conventional airplane designs, though.

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 ...

Modern thrust vectoring in turbofan and rocket nozzles has traditionally been performed using mechanical actuation. However, recent research has identified fluidic thrust vectoring as a promising ...

Ground trials are underway for a vectored thrust prototype developed under a £6.5 million ($10.4 million) UK project to develop technologies for an unmanned air vehicle with no conventional control ...

Eurojet is to propose a thrust-vectoring version of the Eurofighter Typhoon's EJ200 powerplant to meet India's requirement for up to 150 engines to equip the first squadrons of its indigenously ...
